PUBLICATION PROFILE

Orcid

🎓 EARLY ACADEMIC PURSUITS

Mr. Valentin Laurent Sylvain Menoury embarked on his academic journey with a strong foundation in agricultural sciences. He graduated as an Agricultural Engineer from ESA (École Supérieure d’Agricultures) in Angers, France. Building on this foundation, he pursued a Master of Science in Animal Nutrition and Metabolism at Wageningen University and Research (WUR), The Netherlands, where he graduated with cum laude distinction. His early academic focus demonstrated a deep interest in sustainable animal nutrition and the intersection between feed processing and animal health.

👨‍🔬 PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS

Currently, Mr. Menoury is a PhD student at UMR Herbivores, INRAE – the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment. His research tackles a crucial challenge in feed sustainability: replacing hexane, a toxic and petroleum-based solvent used in oilseed processing, with 2-methyloxolane, a more sustainable, biobased alternative. This aligns with global goals for greener and safer food systems. In parallel, he has engaged in one industry consultancy project and has co-authored one journal article indexed in SCI/Scopus.

🔬 CONTRIBUTIONS AND RESEARCH FOCUS

Valentin’s primary research assesses the nutritional value of 2-methyloxolane-defatted oilseed meals in dairy cow diets and evaluates their impact on milk quality. His work is pioneering in that it is the first study to report n-hexane residues in milk from cows fed with hexane-defatted soybean meal. Additionally, his application of equivalence testing in livestock feeding trials marks a methodological breakthrough. Until now, most studies relied on non-significant results from traditional difference testing. His collaboration with statisticians from WUR underlines his interdisciplinary approach and dedication to improving research standards in animal science.

🌍 IMPACT AND INFLUENCE

By addressing both environmental and food safety concerns, Mr. Menoury’s work contributes significantly to the modernization of feed processing practices. His research paves the way for broader adoption of biobased solvents and more statistically robust evaluation techniques. The implications of his study stretch beyond dairy science, influencing policy, feed manufacturing, and consumer health. His findings are already encouraging other researchers and institutions to reconsider solvent safety in feed production.

📚 ACADEMIC CITES AND RECOGNITION

Although early in his academic career, Valentin has published one peer-reviewed article and is active on platforms like ORCID and HAL, where his research contributions are accessible. While his citation index is currently not available (NA), his innovative methods and collaborative spirit have begun earning recognition in the research community. He has also participated in data analysis challenges, receiving commendation from the Research Data Analysis platform.

🌱 LEGACY AND FUTURE CONTRIBUTIONS

Looking ahead, Mr. Menoury aims to continue transforming animal nutrition practices by advancing biobased alternatives in feed production and advocating for rigorous statistical methods in agricultural science. His legacy will likely include driving the transition toward safer, more sustainable livestock feeding systems and inspiring future scientists to integrate sustainability, innovation, and methodological integrity in their work.
