The event, slated for October 8 to 10 in Ho Chi Minh City, is expected to attract more than 13,000 visitors and feature over 300 exhibitors across 13,000 square meters of exhibition space, according to a press conference in Hanoi on September 12.

The exhibition will provide a comprehensive platform for the industry to showcase the latest products, services, and technologies in equipment and solutions, animal nutrition, breeding and care, livestock products, and market connectivity. A Vietnam Pavilion, supported by the Department of Livestock and Veterinary Medicine, will spotlight local enterprises and their innovations.

Nguyen Phuong Thao, Senior Project Manager at Informa Markets Group, said the event would host approximately 70 conferences, seminars, and forums over three days, focusing on the latest trends and innovations in the industry. Key sessions will address urgent challenges, including antibiotic resistance, sustainable pig farming, waste-to-energy recycling and environmental control.

A representative from the Department of Livestock and Veterinary Medicine said the agency would lead three key sessions: a plenary on the application of science, innovation, and digital transformation for sustainable livestock development, and two thematic sessions on building a sustainable livestock industry aligned with Vietnam’s three-tier governance model, as well as strengthening research and management capacity for vaccines and veterinary medicines in the current context.

For the first time, a forum on antibiotics will also be held to equip farmers and policymakers with strategies to tackle the misuse of antibiotics, a growing concern in Vietnam’s livestock sector.
