EuroTier 2024, the world's leading trade fair for professional livestock farming, is set to take place from November 12 to 15, 2024, in Hanover, Germany. This year’s guiding theme, "We innovate animal farming," highlights the latest advancements in animal feed solutions and efficient feed management.
In the face of a growing world population and decreasing arable land per person, the importance of innovative animal feed solutions cannot be overstated. EuroTier 2024 aims to address these challenges by exploring alternative protein sources and efficient feed management strategies that reduce land usage for feed cultivation.
Key Focus Areas:
Efficient Feed Management:
Livestock farmers can significantly reduce the amount of land required for feed cultivation by implementing efficient feed management measures. This involves optimizing the use of biomass unsuitable for human consumption and minimizing feed losses from the field to the animal.
Alternative Protein Sources:
The event will delve into alternative protein sources that can replace conventional feedstuffs like rapeseed and soya. Insects and algae, which have low agricultural land requirements, are promising alternatives that will be showcased.
Sustainable Feed Production:
With the decreasing availability of arable land and increasing demand for meat, sustainable feed production is critical. The event will highlight the importance of utilizing biomass that cannot be eaten by humans for livestock feed, thereby reducing competition for food resources.
Highlights of EuroTier 2024:
Innovative Perspectives:
Industry experts will present ground-breaking insights into sustainable and efficient feed management practices.
Alternative Feed Solutions:
The "Inhouse Farming - Feed & Food Show" will feature the latest developments in alternative protein sources such as insects and algae.
Efficiency and Sustainability:
Discussions will focus on maximizing harvest yields, minimizing feed losses, and ensuring sustainable food supply through better resource utilization.
Challenges and Opportunities:
Feed Efficiency:
Optimizing the feed efficiency of biomass unsuitable for human consumption is a significant challenge. The event will address ways to improve breeding and feed processing technologies to enhance efficiency.
Insect and Algae Feed:
While insects and algae present promising alternatives, there are challenges related to feed quality, economic efficiency, and regulatory compliance. EuroTier 2024 will provide a platform to discuss these issues and explore potential solutions.
EuroTier 2024: A Global Platform for Innovation
EuroTier 2024 promises to be a pivotal event for the global livestock industry, offering a comprehensive platform for industry professionals to explore innovative feed solutions, network with leading companies and gain insights into the future of sustainable animal farming.
