Where There Is a Rabbit, There Is a Solution: OUK Student Develops Organic Biopesticide from Rabbit Urine

RABBIT LINK – An epitome of research to commercialization. What was a class project that ended up in the market. OUK trains innovatively. Inspires Innovation!

What if rabbit urine could help protect crops and promote healthier living? Mr. Ronald Muteti, an Open University of Kenya student, from the School of Business and Economics, Department of Business and Entrepreneurship, has developed Mazao Defense, an organic biopesticide made from processed rabbit urine. The innovation seeks to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic chemical pesticides by helping control crop pests while potentially reducing risks to human health and the environment.
