The Department of Animal Sciences Data Warehouse Laboratory (OAU-ANS-DW), a legacy initiative associated with Prof. E. B. Sonaiya, is a unit that oversees digital systems that securely facilitate data capture, data compilation, organization and analysis of operational databases, historical data, research data and other data concerns in all aspects of animal production and value chains, as a key strategy for value creation and product development.
The OAU-ANS-DW Data project addresses a new direction in training and capacity building in livestock data analytics and intelligence for staff and students in the department. The emphasis on “Data Culture and Value Creation Culture” echoes trends in the application of data intelligence in knowledge-driven economies globally.
