A day of expertise and sharing
The conference addressed crucial issues for the agricultural sector, with a particular focus on common challenges in animal health and livestock breeding.

We would like to congratulate our three speakers, Roxane Feller (AnimalhealthEurope), Jean-Yves Houtain (ARSIA), and Willem Van Praet (DGZ), for their high-quality presentations. Their expertise enriched the discussions and provided invaluable insights into the issues addressed.

Stronger European collaboration
The event also highlighted the importance of European cooperation and opened up prospects for joint action to meet the health and economic challenges facing our sectors. Finally, our warmest thanks to ABJA and all the participants for their commitment and enthusiasm.
