International Cattle & Pig Event - with a visit from Nebraska (USA)
The International Cattle & Pig Event will take place on the eve of EuroTier on November 11, 2024, from 18:00 in the Convention Center, Room 2. Titled “Global markets and local frameworks - how pioneering farmers fit the future”, the event explores opportunities as a result of the rising demand globally for animal proteins. Producers in highly efficient regions of the world stand to gain. In parts of Europe, however, the current framework conditions, which includes the Green Deal, may lead to increased efforts towards extensification. What is the situation and how are leading dairy, beef cattle and pig farmers adapting? These and other topics will be discussed by experts from North America and Europe at this year's International Cattle & Pig Event, a prelude to EuroTier.
The Cattle & Pig Event will be opened by Hubertus Paetow, President of the DLG. The keynote speaker is Dr. Jim Pillen, current Governor of the State of Nebraska, USA, and founder and owner of Pillen Family Farms, Inc. Tom Dunne, President of European Dairy Farmers and Gert van Beek, President of European Pig Producers, will be contributing their views to the subsequent panel discussion: “Global markets and local frameworks - how pioneering farmers fit the future”. The closing address will be given by Georg Geucke, Chairman of the Board of the German Livestock Association (Bundesverband Rind und Schwein). Tickets for the event are priced at 49 euros and will be available in the online ticket store from August.
After the speaking session, the Bundesverband Rind und Schwein e. V, the German Livestock Association (BRS) and umbrella organization for the production of cattle and pigs in Germany, will be inviting guests to the adjoining “Agrill” informal gathering. At the joint barbecue event, attendees will have plenty of opportunity to interact with each other while experiencing the barbecue food - prepared on a tractor with a front-loading barbecue.
