New ideas abound at Viv Utrecht

摘要

This year's Viv Europe at Utrecht attracted just under 22,000 visitors from 126 different countries. It was good to see BPA flying the flag - members had several stands with John Millard and Robert Overend well to the fore. Waste Spectrum Environmental from Worcester was exhibiting for the first time. Company marketing manager Haley Shurmer was delighted by the interest its products generated. A feature of this year's show was the 'pig innovation theatre' where companies could display innovations. Needle-less injection is becoming a reality. The technique is safer to pigs and humans and the risk of broken needles and associated problems is also eliminated. Intervet was exhibiting its Idal vac-cinator. Idal can be used to vaccinate against Aujeszky's and PRRS, the dosage being 0.2ml.
