The latest edition of the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), already a worldwide reference, brought together more than 30,000 professionals and 1,200 exhibiting companies, consolidating itself as a key space for exchanging knowledge, exhibiting new technologies, and closing commercial agreements.
A strategic meeting point
Organized by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, the American Feed Industry Association, and the North American Meat Institute, IPPE is not only an exhibition fair, but a platform that drives innovation in every link of the animal production chain. During the three-day event, attendees could learn about the latest trends in animal nutrition, automation, sustainability, animal welfare, and meat processing.
This year, the program included more than 200 technical conferences, where industry specialists addressed key topics such as reducing the environmental footprint of animal production, the use of artificial intelligence in farm and processing plant management, and the impact of new regulations on the industry.
One of the most awaited moments was the Latin American Poultry Summit, where the challenges of the sector in the region and the opportunities for growth in an increasingly demanding market were discussed.
Prominent presence of leading companies
The IPPE 2025 exhibition area was the perfect setting for the leading companies in the sector to showcase their advances in animal nutrition, genetics, health, and meat processing technology. Beyond the exhibition of products, the event served as a networking platform for creating new strategic alliances and exploring business opportunities in international markets. IPPE's global connectivity makes it a point of reference for companies seeking to expand their presence in the meat and animal feed industries.
Trends and challenges addressed at IPPE 2025
Animal and meat production is constantly evolving, and the IPPE was once again the ideal space to understand where the industry is heading. This year, the most discussed topics were:
- Sustainability in animal protein production: The industry is moving towards more efficient models, with strategies to reduce environmental impact and optimize resource use.
- Automation and digitalization: From the implementation of robots in processing plants to artificial intelligence in animal production, technology continues to revolutionize the industry.
- Innovations in animal nutrition: The use of new additives and nutritional strategies to improve feed conversion and intestinal health of animals was another key topic.
- Animal welfare and health: With increasingly stringent regulations and more demanding consumers, solutions to ensure better conditions on farms and processing plants were discussed.
- Food safety and traceability: Technology applied to product traceability and food safety continues to be a priority for the industry.
IPPE 2025 reaffirmed its position as the most important event for the livestock, meat, and compound feed industries. The participation of experts, the exhibition of technological innovations, and the discussion on the future of the sector made this edition a resounding success.
