Overview

Henry Jørgensen is a researcher affiliated with Aarhus University in Denmark, specializing in Agricultural and Biological Sciences with a focus on Animal Science and Zoology, Agronomy and Crop Science, Ecology, and Small Animals. Their work predominantly addresses topics related to Animal Nutrition and Physiology, Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology, and aspects of Agriculture Sustainability and Environmental Impact.

Their recent publications reflect a concentration on nutrient digestibility, enteric methane emissions, and dietary impacts on livestock. Notable papers include:

  • Influence of fiber-rich coproducts on nutrient and energy digestibility and utilization in sows, 2023, Journal of Animal Science
  • Dietary characteristics and body weight input improve the prediction of enteric methane production from growing-finishing pigs, 2025, Animal Feed Science and Technology
  • Influence of Fiber on Ileal and Total Tract Digestibility, the Flow of Nutrients, and Enteric Methane Emission in Growing Pigs and Gestating Sows, 2023, SSRN Electronic Journal
  • Influence of fiber type on enteric methane production from growing-finishing pigs and subsequent biochemical methane potential of excreted feces, 2025, Animal Feed Science and Technology

Jørgensen frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including Knud Erik Bach Knudsen, Elvira Sattarova, Jan Værum Nørgaard, Michael Jørgen Hansen, and Sigrid J Wisbech. The distribution of their publications indicates a strong presence in key journals such as Animal Feed Science and Technology, Journal of Animal Science, and SSRN Electronic Journal.

The researcher has contributed primarily to advancing knowledge in animal nutrition, especially focusing on the relationships between fiber intake, nutrient utilization, and methane production in pigs and sows. Their work also considers environmental impacts through the lens of enteric methane emissions, linking animal dietary factors with sustainability outcomes in agriculture.

Through their studies, Jørgensen addresses physiological processes in livestock nutrition and the implications for animal welfare and environmental stressors. Their interdisciplinary approach combines elements from agronomy, ecology, and animal science to offer broader insights into agricultural sustainability.
