Søren Krogh Jensen

Søren Krogh Jensen is a Professor at the Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences (ANIVET) within the Monogastric Nutrition (MONU) unit at Aarhus University. His research focuses on sustainable feed production, nutrient metabolism, and circular bioeconomy strategies in animal agriculture. He leads initiatives in biorefining green plant resources and serves on the steering committee of the Center for Circular Bioeconomy.

Education & Research Expertise:

• Over 35 years of research on feed processing impacts on animal nutrition
• Specialization in vitamin/fatty acid metabolism, biohydrogenation, and excretion dynamics
• Expertise in analytical methods and laboratory facilities for nutritional studies

Research Themes:

• Optimizing nutrient utilization across species (ruminants/monogastrics)
• Developing sustainable feed sources from agricultural byproducts
• Integrating circular economy principles into livestock systems
• Evaluating environmental impacts of protein crop expansion

Current Projects (2020-2025):

• GrassProtein (grass-based biorefining)
• SeaSus-Protein (seaweed protein utilization)
• UVIBA (UV sterilization in livestock environments)
• GO-GRASS (grass-based circular business models)

Labs & Collaborations: Directs the ANIVET bioeconomy initiative and collaborates with industry on biorefining technologies and feed innovation.
