The EuroTier livestock farming fair and the accompanying EnergyDecentral energy fair close in Hanover, Germany, on 13 November. On the final day, visitors, mainly cattle, pig and poultry farmers and biogas plant operators, can attend several talks on feeding, organic animal husbandry and biogas production. The programme was compiled by the German farming portal agrarheute.

Cattle and pigs

Katharina Weihrauch of Bioland, an organic farming association, will speak in her talk "Futterknappheit – was nun?" ("Feed shortage – what now?") about how cattle, sheep and goat farmers can respond when feed supplies are tight. It starts at 1:00 p.m. at the DLG Expert Stage Rind in Hall 12, Stand G28.

For pig farmers, Sigrid Seelhorst will speak about using co-products in pig feeding. It runs from 12:30 to 1:00 p.m. at the DLG Expert Stage Schwein in Hall 17, Stand F28.

Poultry and biogas

Poultry farmers have two talks on organic farming at the DLG Expert Stage Geflügel in Hall 17, Stand D29. At 10:30 a.m., Dr. Anja Höhne will explain how to start organic broiler chicken farming. At 12:00 p.m., Rudolf Joost-Meyer zu Bakum will discuss how Germany has achieved 100 percent organic feeding of laying hens without losses in performance.

For biogas plant operators, Bettina Frauz of North-Tec Maschinenbau will speak at 10:25 a.m. at the DLG Expert Stage EnergyDecentral in Hall 25, Stand E29. Her talk is titled "Die Branche sucht die letzten 2 % Gasertrag und verliert 20 % durch fehlende Prozesse!" ("The industry is looking for the last 2% of gas yield and losing 20% through missing processes!"). It covers unused potential in process optimisation and possible losses in gas yield.
