The exhibition will provide updates on the latest trends and technology, and visitors can build networks and share ideas and experience to improve the Indonesian livestock industry's capacity to meet the demand for premium and affordable animal protein. Eventually, the industry will not only be able to meet local animal protein demand, but also be able to meet ASEAN and surrounding countries' needs for high quality animals and animal products. Furthermore, we believe that the event is also an excellent opportunity to meet experts, professionals, scientists, as well as business partners from the livestock and animal health industry.'
