EuroTier, the world's leading trade fair for animal production, will once again include the World Poultry Show in 2016. This means next year's EuroTier will be the only international exhibition for animal producers to include all livestock sectors – dairy, beef cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep and aquaculture – in such a comprehensive fashion. The event will take place from 15th to 18th November 2016 at the Hanover Exhibitions Grounds.

 

EuroTier 2014 set a new benchmark for the fair, with 156,500 visitors – 30,000 of whom came from outside Germany. Solutions and products were displayed by 2,368 exhibitors, and 1,145 of these were also based outside the host nation. The exhibition provided a showcase for the latest international livestock technology trends, and was characterized by a positive outlook from both exhibitors and visitors.

 

Decision makers with investment intentions from agribusinesses made up the majority of visitors, but purchasing specialists, consultants, dealers, veterinarians and professionals from research and development organizations were also among the key visitors at EuroTier.

 

EnergyDecentral to premiere with BIOGAS Convention

 

The integration of the EnergyDecentral exhibition area into EuroTier has already proved to offer good synergy with the agricultural livestock technologies at the fair. This section has been part of the exhibition since 2006.

 

Located in separate exhibition halls, EnergyDecentral displays a broad range of technological developments in the areas of bioenergy, renewable energy and the technology and concepts around decentralized energy. Alongside EnergyDecentral, the German Biogas Association will hold its BIOGAS annual meeting, taking place under the new name BIOGAS Convention, for the first time in 2016.

 

The accompanying German Biogas Exhibition will also be integrated into EnergyDecentral. This will help give the biogas industry a future-proof platform for the maintenance and expansion of the business in a national and international context.

 

BPT Congress and “Veterinary Medicine Exhibition”

 

The BPT Congress and “Veterinary Medicine Exhibition” will take place in parallel with the EuroTier exhibition once again.

 

The Federal Association of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (BPT) will hold its annual congress and the associated “Veterinary Medicine Exhibition” at Hanover's Exhibition Grounds during EuroTier.

 

The high level of participation of veterinarians in both the BPT Congress and at EuroTier in 2014 clearly underlined the synergies between the two events. For veterinarians, both are indispensable sources of information and services that can be accessed in just one visit.

 

International professional program

 

EuroTier offers an attractive professional program with information, discussion forums and international conferences on current issues, including all aspects of professional animal husbandry and the technologies offered by the exhibitors.
