Jaap (Jacob) van Milgen is a senior scientist at INRAE, the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment. He carried out an extensive research program on energy and protein nutrition and metabolism in growing animals, using both experimental and modeling methods. He also co-authored the InraPorc, which integrates current knowledge on the nutrition of growing pigs and sows in a model and software tool, making it available to professionals in the animal nutrition sector.
He coordinated the European Horizon 2020 Feed-a-Gene project from 2015 to 2020, which aimed to adapt the feed, the animal, and the feeding techniques to improve the efficiency and sustainability of monogastric livestock production systems. He currently coordinates the Horizon 2020 PIGWEB project, which is an infrastructure project for experimental research for sustainable pig production.
In 2021, he was awarded the prestigious Leroy Fellowship award of the EAAP (the European Federation of Animal Science) for his outstanding scientific contribution to animal production over a sustained period. Jaap van Milgen holds a MSc-degree from Wageningen University, a PhD-degree from the University of Illinois, and an HDR-degree from the University of Rennes 1.
