The interest of sector professionals was evident and attendance reflected the 11th Zootechnia’s rich content. Apart from its broad range of exhibits, it included congresses, events, and special thematic exhibitions, such as the Horse Show and the Pet Festival.

‘Digital Greece for Animal and Fowl Farming’ proved to be a pole of attraction for visitors at the 11th Zootechnia. This event is an extension of Digital Greece, the event held at the 83rd TIF, co-organised by the Ministry of Digital Policy, Telecommunications, and Media, where 10 Greek startups presented their innovative ideas, their fresh outlook, their products and achievements, framed in a rich programme that included speeches and workshops on primary and secondary production subjects related to the exhibitions sectors.

At the ‘Horse Show’ more than 50 horses put on an impressive show by participating in agility shows, chariot races, and other events, while at the ‘Pet Festival’ international visitors had the chance to be informed on matters pertaining to the training, nutrition, and health of their pets. In fact, agility contests were organised for the first time in the framework of the ‘Pet Festival’.
