These include MSD Animal Health’s Porcilis PCV M Hyo ID, a needle-free vaccine against PCV2 and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, in the animal health arena.
Biosecurity and health are key themes in the Innovation Theatre, examining, for example, how Galebreaker’s automated micro-climate control in sheds can improve pig growth rates and health.
Lallemand will explain how targeted microbial management can reduce ammonia emissions, while Jefo Nutrition will explore how advanced micro-encapsulation of essential oils and organic acids and improve pig and poultry performance.
Other new pig products range from a simple MS Rattle cup from Farm Mix, which helps with stock movements, to Livestock IQ from Blackston Coopers; a new farm management system with structured workflows and alerts.
ZenBlock, from Hemp Feed is a new mineral block designed to support animal welfare and natural behaviour in modern production systems.
“Innovation comes in many forms,” said Alice Bell, event organiser at RASE. “From simple, effective ideas to cutting-edge artificial intelligence, each has a role to play on farm. Whether visitors are chatting to exhibitors or listening to expert speakers in the Forum programme, we aim to connect producers with the ideas that shape their tomorrow.”
