New products and fresh thinking at the Pig & Poultry Fair

Pig and Poultry Fair 13-14 May 2026

Farming never stands still. Fresh ideas, new products and the latest research all combine to ensure that production systems are constantly evolving, improving animal welfare, efficiencies, and environmental impact. Nowhere is this truer than in the pig and poultry sectors, which are perpetually pushing the boundaries to meet consumer needs and societal demands.

With over 330 exhibitors, visitors to the British Pig & Poultry Fair on May 13-14 will be treated to a wide range of new products and advice. In the egg sector, Farmermobil’s brand new Starter S mobile unit with multi-tier system is a ready-to-go solution for anyone looking to quickly add or scale up egg production on their farm. Combining proven aviary technology with smart automation – feeding, egg collection, and climate control – it delivers high output with minimal labour.

For pig producers, new 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. Other options include Porcilis PCV M Hyo ID from MSD Animal Health; a needle-free vaccine against PCV2 and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Or producers could chill out with a ZenBlock from Hemp Feed – a new mineral block designed to support animal welfare and natural behaviour in modern production systems.

For those looking to tackle diseases and maximise biosecurity, Enviro Spore’s new Bioburden test kits offer a simple, visual way to see bacterial pressures inside their poultry sheds. The kits provide clear visual results without specialist equipment, turning an invisible hygiene challenge into something farmers can see and track themselves. This enables producers to better understand hygiene conditions, compare sheds or crops, and make more informed management decisions.

Good biosecurity across the whole supply chain protects farms from ever-present disease threats, says Tessa Seymour, commercial director at Fair Partner ABN. “Biosecurity, from mill to farm, helps protect your livestock, your business, and the supply chain. Prevention isn’t optional – it’s essential.”

Biosecurity and health are key themes in the Innovation Theatre, examining issues like 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.

“Innovation comes in many forms,” says 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.”
