PHOTO REPORT: Eurotier 2014

This year’s EuroTier is an edition without the World Poultry Show. But does that mean there is absolutely no poultry related business to be found in Hanover, Germany? On the contrary!

The hall signs already give it away – there are definitely bird-related companies to be found in several halls.
Inside the halls, the notices confirm that, as ‘Geflügel’ is the German word for ‘poultry’.
Some of the larger companies indeed chose for VIV Europe in Utrecht this year to display their poultry innovations.
But what was there to be found for poultry producers?
The day was kicked off by Reinhard Grandke, CEO of the German Agricultural Society (DLG). In a press conference he pointed out that although due to the absence of the World Poultry Show the total number of exhibitors is lower than in 2012, the number of international exhibitors made up for that.
Dr Hans-Joachim Götz, president of the German Federal Association of Practising Veterinarians (BPT) said that veterinarians and doctors need to join forces to improve the common strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance.
Back to the showgrounds, where members of the public were informed about latest trends in the Poultry Forum.
Companies present include Dutch hatching technology company Hatchtech.
…as well as one of the world’s leading breeders Cobb.
Turkeys are not forgotten…
…and neither are housing & equipment solutions.
In the nutrition halls, there is equal attention for pigs, poultry and ruminants, for instance with Biomin…
…or Danisco – the empty booth is just a sign of preparation, as everybody is getting ready for Wednesday’s ‘Future of Enzymes’ Seminar in cooperation with AllAboutFeed.
These are not poultry but dairy cows…
…and who wishes to know more about dairy, or about World Poultry, please visit the booth of Reed Business Information in Hall 20, H16. We are waiting for you!
