The debut edition of EuroTier China concluded in Qingdao, which hosted more than 22,000 livestock farming professionals from around the world between 19-21 September
Around 293 exhibitors covering all sectors of the animal production industry highlighted the latest in technological innovation, complemented by five days of well-attended technical conferences, seminars and forums that fostered the exchange of knowledge in addition to discussions on major issues and challenges facing the region.
Organised by National Animal Husbandry Services (NAHS) China, the German Agricultural Society (DLG), and Beijing Tec, EuroTier China 2019 provided the region with an international platform for global brands, international industry leaders, leading experts and local farmers to come together under one roof and share not only the latest technological innovations but also to discuss and deliberate on some of the most critical challenges currently facing the livestock sector.
The event was attended by 300 exhibitors covering a wide range of thematic areas, showcasing technology and innovation in breeding capacity, genetics, feed and additives, animal housing, feed techniques, controlled environmental technology and much more. The exhibitors were from 12 countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Malaysia, Belgium, Canada and the USA.
Ma Zhiqian, SANO China Director, said, “The expansion of the EuroTier brand to China has been a success and is a classic win-win situation for us.”
Wang, head of International Sales at Yongmeng Machinery Co. Ltd, said, “EuroTier China has helped us realise a new business segment; until now we have only focused on agri-machinery, however, we realised through the contacts we made here that the animal farms are also interested in our silage technology.”
EuroTier China 2019 held five days of technical conferences. The technical programme, including conferences and presentations at the DLG forum, provided visitors not only with a platform to gain valuable know-how on sector-specific themes to improve their own farming practices, but also the latest developments in the market and what to expect and how to prepare for the future.
The technical conferences covered topics including feed and animal nutrition, dairy, livestock and poultry breeding, swine production animal health and food safety. The DLG Forum, along with the conferences, hosted experts from all over the world who delivered presentations on their subject matter tailored to the market and the challenges facing it at the moment, such as bio-security and ASF and international trade agreements.
The second edition of EuroTier China has been confirmed for 7-9 September 2020 at the Chengdu Century City New International Exhibition & Convention Centre in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan.
