EuroTier 2026: What Poultry Producers Can Learn from Other Livestock Sectors

For poultry producers, industry events often focus exclusively on poultry housing, equipment, and flock management. EuroTier 2026, however, offers another dimension. Taking place from 10 to 13 November 2026 in Hanover, Germany, the world’s leading trade fair for animal farming and livestock management brings together the entire livestock sector under one roof, creating opportunities to learn not only from poultry specialists but also from dairy, beef and pig producers facing many of the same challenges.

Today’s livestock farms operate in an increasingly complex environment. Labour shortages, rising energy costs, stricter environmental requirements, animal welfare expectations and the rapid development of digital technologies affect all sectors. While production systems differ, many of the solutions being developed for dairy, pig and cattle farming are also highly relevant for poultry businesses.

EuroTier’s strength lies in this cross-sector exchange. Visitors can explore innovations in automation, sensor technology, robotics, ventilation, feeding systems, energy management and data-driven decision-making. Advances developed for one livestock sector often inspire solutions in another. In particular, topics such as biosecurity, emission reduction, animal health monitoring and resource efficiency are becoming increasingly interconnected across animal production. In addition, the co-located EnergyDecentral exhibition provides valuable insights into renewable energy generation, energy storage and integrated on-farm energy concepts that can help livestock businesses improve profitability and resilience.

Across 13 halls, under the guiding theme “Intelligence in Animal Farming”, more than 2,100 exhibitors from over 50 countries are expected to present technologies and services designed to improve productivity, sustainability and animal welfare. Poultry professionals will find dedicated poultry content, including the DLG Expert Stage Poultry and the Spotlight Emission Reduction in Pig and Poultry Farming, but they can also benefit from exploring innovations and management concepts from other sectors.

Beyond technology, EuroTier remains one of the most important international networking platforms for livestock professionals. Farmers, researchers, veterinarians, consultants and industry representatives from around the world come together to discuss practical solutions and future developments. Events such as the International Poultry Day, DLG-VetCon and numerous international networking formats provide opportunities to exchange ideas and build new partnerships.

For poultry producers, EuroTier is therefore more than a poultry exhibition. It is a unique opportunity to gain fresh perspectives from across animal agriculture and discover innovations that can help build more efficient, resilient and sustainable farming businesses for the future.
