We expanded the number of stands by thirteen, accommodating nearly one hundred companies to showcase their businesses. This growth underscores the need for early booking for future events.

November 2024

While the RSPCA has made significant strides in improving the lives of farm animals, particularly hens, recent changes have sparked a lot of concern amongst producers, who believe some of the changes will adversely affect the management of their flocks and, ultimately, their welfare.

If the focus is on continually enhancing farm animal welfare, the RSPCA must continue its increased engagement with the industry and consider the concerns of producers, who ultimately have to deliver these changes on the farm.

October 2024

The BFREPA Why Manure Matters webinar, a seminal moment for the laying industry and its attitude to environmental issues within egg production, saw an impressive turnout.

Three hundred producers registered, one hundred and seventy logged in live, and one hundred and forty stayed until the end. BFREPA is leading the way in important issues such as manure management, but the solutions to this particular issue remain unclear. What is clear is that if we are to face environmental challenges, funding will be needed from the government as farmers are not prepared for the manure storage required to address this challenge. The issue of wash water is one particular point in question. The webinar is now available on the BFREPA YouTube channel for those who missed it.
