With record figures of over 1,900 exhibitors and 145,000 visitors, EuroTier 2010 set new standards. It was characterised by a positive mood among exhibitors and visitors and put the spotlight on international trends in product innovations and services for animal husbandry.

As the organiser, DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft; German Agricultural Society) reports, in the coming year, EuroTier will be the only international exhibition in Europe for professional animal production that covers all sectors of the industry comprehensively – cattle, pig and poultry farming as well as aquaculture. It will be held from 13 to 16 November 2012 at the world's largest Exhibition Grounds in Hanover, thus making it not only the ideal location for business contacts to Eastern and Western Europe, but also the forum for all members of the industry throughout the world.

The majority of the visitors are decision-makers from farming enterprises ready to invest. They are joined by large numbers of industrial buyers, consultants, dealers, veterinarians, and academic and research staff.

World Poultry Show – the highlight of the international poultry industry

In 2012, the World Poultry Show will again be part of EuroTier. This means that this year, EuroTier will be the highlight for the entire international poultry industry.

For visitors from the poultry segment, high synergy effects result from the cross-species exhibition sectors at EuroTier, such as feed and feed storage, animal health and HVAC for animal housing, that are presented in a more comprehensive programme here than at any other exhibition.

BioEnergy Decentral

The integration of BioEnergy Decentral into the agricultural setting of EuroTier has been a resounding success. The whole bandwidth of technological developments in the fields of bioenergy, renewable energies, machinery and equipment and concepts addressing all aspects of decentralised energy supply is shown in separate exhibition halls. Here the organizer DLG collaborates closely with VDMA Power Systems and the Association of Local Utilities (VKU).

bpt Veterinarian Congress and 'Veterinary Medicine Exhibition' in Hanover

For the third time, the bpt (Bundesverband Praktizierender Tierärzte; Federal Association of Practising Veterinarians) will be holding its annual congress and associated specialist exhibition, Veterinary Medicine, at the Exhibition Grounds in Hanover, overlapping with EuroTier.

The record participation by veterinarians at both the bpt Congress and EuroTier at the last event in 2010 clearly underscores the synergies. For veterinarians, both events with their own specific information programmes are indispensable and can be managed efficiently with just one trip.

International technical programme

An attractive technical programme with information, discussion forums and international conferences on topical animal husbandry issues will complement the technical exhibits presented by the exhibitors.
