Anne-Helene Tauson

Anne-Helene Tauson serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in animal nutrition and metabolic physiology across diverse species including poultry, dogs, swine, and mink. Her work integrates laboratory and field studies to address critical challenges in sustainable animal production and companion animal health.

Her research portfolio demonstrates deep expertise in energy metabolism measurement techniques, particularly the ¹³C-bicarbonate method for quantifying energy expenditure in dogs. She investigates nutrient digestibility, alternative protein sources (notably Cyberlindnera jadinii yeast), and gut health parameters, with strong emphasis on practical applications for improving animal welfare and feed efficiency. Current projects focus on dietary interventions for body weight management in companion animals and optimizing protein utilization in fur-bearing species.

Analysis of her 271 research outputs reveals consistent thematic evolution toward sustainable feed technologies and precision nutrition, with significant contributions to poultry science and companion animal metabolism over the past five years. Her methodological innovations in metabolic measurement have established new standards for energy expenditure studies in privately owned dogs.

Dr. Tauson maintains active academic engagement through extensive peer review activities (8 manuscript reviews), conference participation (9 international events since 2007), and committee service including membership on the Swedish Research Council's reference group. She regularly contributes as an external examiner (opponent) and provides subject coordination for veterinary nutrition curricula.
