The 79th edition of the historic show will be held at CremonaFiere from 28 to 30 November 2024
The eager expectation for the 79th edition of the Zootecniche Cremona International Exhibition is rising from week by week: this year, the traditional event that brings the dairy farming world to Cremona will take place on 28, 29 and 30 November 2024 at CremonaFiere.
As happens every year, as autumn begins the organisational machine swings into action at full pace, arranging a mix of consolidated favourites and new features.
Once again, this 79th edition will include livestock (more than 800 entries at present) that, as tradition requires, represent the best of world animal husbandry: the Cremona show – with Holstein, Red Holstein, Jersey and Bruna cattle – is viewed globally as unmissable, since it is in the ring at the Lombardy city that worldwide genetic selection trends are set and affirmed, with the most interesting and “modern” animals on display.
The presence of American judge Nathan Thomas will add to the event’s prestige.
So while the ring prepares to host the milk production queens, the CremonaFiere specialists are completing construction of a showcase of the leading companies in the industry, who will be displaying the most modern and efficient solutions for improving livestock farms’ competitiveness at the event.
Planning of the conference programme, an impressive and well established high note of the exhibition, is also in a very advanced stage: once again, there will be an intensive schedule of technical meetings, scientific talks, and discussions and debates on economic and social topics.
“Through our conference programme,” explains CremonaFiere CEO Massimo De Bellis, “we’ve always offered insight into the current issues facing the animal husbandry industry. This year, we’ll be achieving this aim with top-level partnerships once again, benefiting from our long-established relationships with organisations of fundamental importance for the industry, including AITA [the Italian Association of Food Technology], SIVAR [the Italian Society of Farm Animals Veterinary Practitioners], CIB [the Italian Biogas Consortium], Universities and other associations.”
The Cremona show also maintains its strong focus on young people, with a number of projects, from the “On the way to Cremona” competition for agrarian sciences high schools, which provides final-year students with a training opportunity combined with the chance to put their knowledge to the test, to the “Targa Beltrami” award, presented to outstanding young farmers.
Additional information, further defining our picture of the famous Cremona show’s 79th edition, comes from the President of CremonaFiere, Roberto Biloni, himself: “This show,” he tells us,” plays an essential role in giving farmers access to a realistic overview of the future of their industry and the solutions they can adopt for more and more sustainable, state-of-the-art stock farming. Entries for cattle taking part in the show will close in the next few days, and the fact that we already have more than 800 head registered from all over Italy and 5 European countries reflects the event’s importance for the animal husbandry world, at both the Italian and the international level.”
