SPACE 2020

by Antoine Tanguy, French-Edition Coordinator, Milling and Grain, France

The SPACE 2020 exhibition, much like many other events taking place this year, took on the colossal task to reinvent itself due to our unprecedented pandemic situation. Indeed, SPACE 2020 was hosted 100 percent digitally for the first time ever. The event, which, in normal circumstances, attracts 1400 exhibitors at the Parc-Expo in Rennes, (two-thirds of which are international exhibitors) also featured upwards of 100,000 visitors over the four days. SPACE 2020 confidently reached new platforms in order to best serve the livestock industry.

Through their website and mobile app, exhibitors and visitors were able to schedule B2B meetings, which served as a great opportunity for networking. Users were able to filter by sectors and products/services to find the company they were looking for. In addition, although exhibitors were unable to display their products in a traditional stand for attendees to see, SPACE 2020 offered an online solution. Exhibitors could upload information and images of their solutions through the SPACE website and mobile app, for attendees to explore at their own leisure.
 
InnovSpace
Even through the pandemic, companies have developed innovative solutions for the livestock market, and there is no reason to not appreciate and reward them. SPACE 2020 renewed their focus on technological innovation, through their annual InnovSpace awards. A total of 26 products and services were awarded the coveted InnovSpace awards during this year’s SPACE exhibition. The full list of laureates is avaiable on the SPACE website, but many are worth an honourable mention:

One especially unique InnovSpace winner was Balancius™ by DSM Nutritional Products, the only muramidase-degrading PGNs that is authorised for broilers. Balancius™ is the first muramidase (microbial enzyme) made to degrade and minimise the negative effects of bacteria for poultry. More than 50 trials proved the efficacity and the improvement of the use of Balancius™. The product has been authorised since May 2019 in Europe.

The Granulometry by ELVUP was another very interesting award winner. This solution analyses the theoretical degradability of starch in rumen. More and more, corn is used in ruminant feed because it produces slow-release energy. Corn granulometry allows users to better understand the average size and homogeneity of particles. Once aware of particle size and homogeneity, feed producers can change and improve their feed recipes to cater to their own specific requirements.
