Ajao Babatunde Hadiyatullah devotes his career to the impact of environmental and managerial stress on livestock productivity. His all-time commitment is principally shaped by the potential impact of climate change on animal health, reproduction, and welfare on one hand coupled with the coping strategies of livestock farmers to make a profit on the other. His ongoing research works are on micro-livestock because of their strategic place in the livestock industry for the reason of the relative ease of their rearing compared to other livestock species with respect to capital investment, use of space, hardiness, reproduction, production cycle, and biodiversity.
