Tiefenbach welcomes Europe: European Pig Producers visit Minitube

With the slogan "European Pig Production in Transition", this year's annual EPP Congress took place in Landshut from 5 to 8 June 2019. Founded in 1990 in Denmark, the club "European Pig Producers e.V." serves mainly as a technical, economic and social forum for pig producers in European countries.

In addition to the international exchange of views on future visions, consumer demands and marketing, the congress participants were offered a varied program with lectures, company visits and excursions to pig farms.

Of course, a visit to Minitüb, the world market leader in technologies for assisted animal reproduction, was also a must. Managing Director Christian Simmet welcomed the 31 visitors and introduced them to the company. With over 400 employees worldwide and a comprehensive range of products and services for artificial insemination, embryo transfer and associated biotechnology, Minitube has been providing effective solutions to customers working in animal breeding, veterinary medicine and research around the globe for nearly 50 years.

Highlight of the visit were the varied product demonstrations. The participants were enthusiastic about the technically sophisticated devices, e.g. for computer-assisted cell analysis of boar semen on important traits such as motility or membrane integrity.

Conclusion of the entertaining afternoon: A successful European exchange with many new impressions for all participants.
