Zoosystem
An area dedicated to technologies and products for breeding cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep and goats, as well as products for animal nutrition and health, insemination centres and livestock semen distribution companies, tools and equipment for veterinary surgeons.
Animal farming is first of all passion but also income, genetic research, veterinary science, animal welfare, the sustainable environment, product traceability and food safety.
THE EVENTS:
Interbull Workshop
The annual Interbull workshop, the sub-commission of ICAR (International Committee for Animal Recording) providing services all over the world for the genetic improvement of livestock, will be during Fieragricola 2012.
Thanks to this event, the top names in science focusing on the cattle breeding world will spotlight Fieragricola 2012. The meeting, among other things, will outline the basis for Interbull's future strategies focused on assessment and improvement of bovine genetics.
RiduCaReflui - Reducing Waste
The Nitrates Directive requires agrarian companies to achieve a rapid, far-reaching re-definition of livestock sewage management.
The RiduCaReflui project, presented in collaboration with Veneto Agricoltura, summarises the results of studies and experiments into operative solutions upholding the limits imposed by the Nitrates Directive, as well as analysing additional or alternative livestock sewage handling systems that help reduce costs for breeders in order to ensure correct management.
Animal Shows
Hundreds of breeders, over the four days of the event, will present their best livestock at Fieragricola's animal shows. As many as 750 head were on show in 2010. Breeds on show range from traditional livestock to more particular native and niche species.
Events scheduled at Fieragricola 2012 include:
- the 11th European Open Holstein Show, one of the most important meetings held in high regarded by international breeders for European genetics, involving the best Holstein cows from all over Europe;
- Bruna 2012, the national Swiss Brown Cow Exhibition, an important technical occasion for comparisons and a high level showcase for technicians and breeders detailing the results achieved by this breed;
- Italialleva, a large exhibition of livestock registered in stud books, organised by the Italian Breeders Association
