Focus on reducing emissions in livestock farming

Exhibitors, organisations and other livestock experts in more than 25 presentations will be showcasing solutions and innovations in feeding, housing, ventilation and manure treatment that not only help to minimise ammonia in the housing, but also prevent it from occurring in the first place. The German federal ministry of food and Agriculture (BMEL), together with the German office for Agriculture and Food (BLE), will be showing the latest results from research projects on this topic.

Livestock farmers will be able to benefit from the knowledge gained in this DLG Spotlight, applying it to help meet reduction targets in their regions. Reduction in ammonia emission is also an important goal for the EU within the Green Deal.

From 9-12 February, more than 1,400 exhibitors will be on hand on the digital business platform to present information about their range of products and services in real time, face to face via computer.

No special technical equipment is required to visit “EuroTier digital”. To take part a simple computer or laptop with video and audio functions is required. A ticket, which is valid for multiple visits over four days, is available for purchase online. English or German, or both, will be the working languages of these events.

Topics in the ‘Emission Control’ programme – please check exact dates and timings in the preparation week preceding the actual event.
