November 19, 2024 - The EuroTier and EnergyDecentral 2024 trade fairs that took place in Hanover, Germany, November 12-15, have made a strong impression, providing relevant key drivers for business in the global livestock farming and energy sectors. The events hosted 2193 exhibitors from 51 countries with the latest solutions and technologies for the livestock and the renewable energy sector. Some 120,000 investment-ready visitors, coming from 149 countries took advantage of the international industry meeting place with more than 500 professional events and conferences on offer.
Under the guiding theme 'We innovate animal farming', EuroTier 2024 provided strong drivers for the national and international livestock farming industry. With its broad exhibition and technical program, the DLG (German Agricultural Society) as organiser presented technical innovations that combine productivity, animal welfare and sustainability - from digitalisation, robotics and AI to modern solutions for animal housing and health management. Complementing EuroTier, EnergyDecentral offered technologies relating to solar energy, biogas and biofuels, while the new 'Inhouse Farming - Feed & Food Show' highlighted new approaches in feed and food production.

Here in Hanover, we have seen an array of forward-looking solutions for animal husbandry and renewable energies that promote competitiveness, on the one hand, and animal welfare and sustainability, on the other. In times of global challenges, this year's trade fairs have proven that the industry is making the right adjustments and that our exhibitors have the right answers to the entrepreneurial challenges facing the industry," says Freya von Czettritz, CEO of DLG Holding.
High level of satisfaction among trade visitors from Germany and abroad
"Visitors were extremely satisfied with the range of exhibits and the technical program at EuroTier, EnergyDecentral and Inhouse Farming & Feed Show and the specialist topics. This was confirmed by 95% in the on-site visitor survey. Particular interest was noted in the topics of management and feeding technology, milking and cooling technology, animal housing and hall construction, feed and genetics as well as current offers for decentralised energy production and alternative feed and food production," said Ines Rathke, Project Manager of EuroTier.

Great interest in the World Poultry Show
The World Poultry Show at EuroTier once again lived up to its role as a global hub for the poultry industry: breeders, producers and processors took advantage of the opportunity to both identify and innovate solutions and explore in-depth the positive market opportunities. As a business platform and professional forum, the World Poultry Show impressed with a high proportion of international visitors and trade visitors of high quality with investment intentions. 97% of the professional visitors expressed high satisfaction with their visit. A key focus of the World Poultry Show and the International Poultry Conference, which preceded EuroTier, was on the topic of artificial intelligence in poultry farming.
500 International events, including conferences on China, Philippines, Ukraine and Moldova
EuroTier offered a comprehensive technical program with more than 500 individual events. The focus was on automation, robotics, AI, animal welfare, sustainability and climate protection in the context of maintaining high production efficiency. The innovation awards for animal husbandry technology and decentralised energy generation presented during the trade fairs highlighted the innovation capability of the exhibiting companies. The Young Farmers Day, including a sold-out young farer's party housing 2000 farming professionals, was once again a popular meeting place for young farmers and students with networking, career planning and future-proof animal husbandry at the centre.
Hosting several high profile events focusing on livestock issues in Ukraine, Moldova, China and the Philippines, EuroTier offered an international platform for in-depth discussions at high level for the international animal production industry.
Premiere for FarmRobotix and Inhouse Farming Feed & Food Show
The new FarmRobotix platform for robotics, digitalisation, automation and AI in animal husbandry celebrated its premiere. Digital systems and solutions are increasingly employed in cattle, pig and poultry housing. Providing farmers with smart decision-making aids and assistance to further optimise work processes to produce more efficiently, the systems promote animal welfare and help reduce workload. This year's 'Barn Robot Event' was dedicated to this topic with presentations on the automatic pushing of feed in dairy housing.
For the first time, the 'Inhouse Farming Feed & Food Show' platform at EuroTier presented innovative solutions from indoor and vertical farming, including the production of alternative proteins from insects, aquaculture or algae. Visitors were able to sample snacks made from insects as well as algae smoothies while pitches from start-ups and other inspiring discussions and events took place live at the various stages. The Inhouse Farming Feed & Food Show makes one thing clear: Controlled Environment Agriculture, key to new agricultural production systems in the context of global food security, is one of the main tasks of the future.
