October 28, 2024 - As part of its 2024 guiding theme 'We innovate animal farming', the EuroTier trade fair offers a range of 'Expert Stages', which are platforms that explore professional topics through live speeches. The Expert Stages feature the latest developments not only in poultry, cattle, pigs, horses, direct farm sales and on-farm slaughtering but also in renewable energy and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). The world's leading trade fair for professional animal husbandry and livestock management is held together with the EnergyDecentral trade fair in Hanover, Germany, November 12-15, 2024.
Organised by the DLG (German Agricultural Society), the EuroTier and EnergyDecentral trade fair include a comprehensive technical program covering most current livestock topics as well as the Inhouse Farming - Feed & Food Show, a platform for self-contained food systems like vertical farming. The Expert stages are free-to-attend for visitors at EuroTier.

Expert Stage Poultry
Focusing on key topics in the poultry industry, the technical program at the 'Expert Stage Poultry' takes place on each of the four event days from 9:30am-5pm. Health management of poultry flocks, whether through optimised feeding, improvements to the housing environment or digital assistance systems for animal monitoring will be discussed. Experts and professionals will give tips on how to minimise the use of antibiotics.
These insightful approaches from science and practice will present perspectives and solutions for sustainable poultry farming that is driven by animal welfare.
Expert Stage Cattle
With the 'Expert Stage Cattle', EuroTier 2024 offers an open-style platform for in-depth specialist presentations on current issues in dairy and beef cattle farming. In Hall 11 at the 'TopTierTreff' - a feature with demonstrations of live cattle breeds - and in Hall 13 at the 'DLG Studio Stage' as well as the 'DLG Expert Stage', presentations on cattle farming topics will take place daily on each of the four exhibition days.
At the TopTierTreff feature, dairy and beef cattle farmers can attend three different specialist presentations. One of these is dairy specialist Denise Völker's presentation on feeding entitled 'More milk from the ration - feeding cows healthily', which takes place at noon on November 13. Also of topical interest is the presentation by RBB Rinderproduktion Berlin Brandenburg GmbH on 'Breeding strategy for every dairy farm', which will take place on Thursday, November 14, at 10am. These presentations are in German using assisted software translations into English.
Surrounded by presentations of live breeds, these speaking events will provide practical insights for dairy farmers.
In Hall 13, cattle farmers will be able to listen to an array of topics at the DLG Stages, including insights into feeding techniques, sustainable practices, the use of robots, innovative concepts for semi-mobile slaughtering and emission reduction.
Expert Stage Pigs
At the Expert Stage Pig in Hall 15, daily talks on the topic 'pig farming without tail docking' will take place and will include strategies and approaches from industry and practice. Short presentations, interviews and videos make up the presentation formats.
This year, interested visitors can take part in short seminars organised by a range of international publisher, including one where international experts discuss sow management, intestinal health, sustainability and animal welfare on Wednesday, 10am-3:30pm.

Expert Stage Horse
EuroTier 2024 will once again include a feature on horses. The DLG and the German Equestrian Federation (FN - die Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung) are jointly organising EuroTier the 'Horse Theme Day' on Wednesday, November 13. Taking place on each exhibition day, a further two specialist presentations on the DLG Expert Stage in Hall 13 will be devoted to key issues affecting equestrian businesses.
The Horse Theme Day will start at 10am on the DLG Expert Stage, DLG stand, Hall 13, with an expert talk on the topic of 'Work organisation, automation - how to organise everyday life on my farm?'. The presentation will be followed by guiding tours of selected exhibitors with a focus on horses in the areas of technology and equipment. From 3pm, two further specialist presentations will round off the program for equestrian businesses: In the first presentation, Professor Dirk Winter from Nürtingen University, Germany, will introduce digital solutions that help make everyday life on the farm easier. Afterwards, Christiane Rittershaus, horse husbandry consultant at Landesbertieb Landwirtschaft Hessen, will give an overview of the requirements for horse runs and their design options, which the DLG Horse Working Group has compiled in the revised DLG leaflet 'Design of horse runs'.
Direct farm sales and on-farm slaughter
For the first time, EuroTier will include a feature on mobile slaughter across the species of poultry, cattle and pigs. The topic will be presented on the two Expert Stages at the DLG stand in Hall 13. Speakers will present practical examples, examples of distribution channels and decision-making tools that support the acquisition and use of mobile slaughtering units. Visitors will be able to exchange information with manufacturers and operators directly as well as explore the legal requirements, identify suitable marketing approaches and establish the economical viability of the operation.
Expert Stage EnergyDecentral
At the Expert Stage EnergyDecentral in Hall 25, visitors will find a compact overview of innovative and forward-looking technologies as well as a complete range of products and services for decentralised energy generation and its infrastructure.
On the opening day, November 12, the Expert Stages will focus on 'Innovations in the biogas industry'. This will be followed by 'Green Gases' on Wednesday, November 13. On Thursday, November 14, selected experts will discuss 'Biogas on the electricity markets of the future'. On the final day of the trade fair, the main theme of the stage will be 'Process optimisation and practical experience'. The stage will be open daily from 10am-3pm.

The Expert Stage Inhouse Farming, Hall 24, Stand C29, is dedicated to a different topic each day. On Tuesday, November 12, the 'Insect Theme Day' from 10am-5pm focuses on the potential of insects as an alternative protein source. On Wednesday, November 13, the Aquaculture, Aquaponics and Algae Theme Day takes place. The focus on the theme day is the development and potential of aquaculture, already one of the world's fastest growing sectors of agriculture.
On Thursday, the Expert Stage focuses on investors and start-ups. The 'investor breakfast' event will take place at the stand from 9:30am-11am. In addition to culinary delights, inspiring ideas will also be proposed on current topics relating to disruptive technologies in the agri-food sector. The final session of the DLG Impulse Pitches - Inhouse Farming Feed & Food will take place from 11:15am-12:30pm. In the public final round, these five nominees can convince the jury of experts of their innovation in live pitches. The start-up showcase will follow from 3:30pm-5pm. A jury of experts has selected five nominees from numerous international applications and will select one winner on the basis of strict selection criteria.
The simulation game 'From the stable to the vertical farm' and 'Alternative protein sources: driving forward sustainable agriculture with new technologies' will conclude the event on Friday.
Simultaneous translation using AI
At EuroTier 2024, 76 lectures will be offered in English. In addition, an AI simultaneous translator will be used at all expert stages. With the help of AI (artificial intelligence), the spoken word can be recorded in real time, translated and displayed in written form on screens next to the stages. This means that international visitors can follow German lectures without restrictions, and English lectures can also be translated into German without any time delay.
