PROUD MOMENT FOR UNIVERSITY OF ELDORET!

Pround moment for University as we Congratulation:

CHEBET ARUSEY

Ph.D. student and Laboratory Technician in the School of Agriculture and Biotechnology, Soil Science Department, for being named one of only 10 recipients of the:

African Plant Nutrition Scholar Award 2025 by APNI!

Ms. Chebet’s study focuses on the environmental fate of three commonly used veterinary antibiotics - Oxytetracycline, Enrofloxacin and Tylosin—in livestock manure, and how they affect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, microbial communities, and nutrient cycling. The research output is expected to inform policy on safe manure use, support nutrient circularity, reduce GHG emissions, and improve the sustainability of integrated crop-livestock farming systems.

These will help farmers manage manure in ways that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect the environment, prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance, and keep soils fertile. By connecting science to practice, Chebet wants to help farmers use manure safely and efficiently and promote climate-smart farming.

Your work in advancing sustainable agriculture is putting our University on the map!

We celebrate you!

Vice Chancellor, University of Eldoret
