Die ENAJ veranstaltet gemeinsam mit dem französischen Agrar- und Ernährungsjournalisten-Verband AFJA vom 10. bis 13. September 2023 eine Pressereise in die Bretagne (Frankreich), konkret nach Saint-Malo und Rennes, die unter dem Motto: „Der Schlüssel zur Anpassung der Tierhaltung“ stehen wird. Es ist dies ein LBPT (Low Budget Presstrip). Die Bretagne ist die führende französische Region für Fleischproduktion und -verarbeitung. Allein dieses Gebiet produziert ein Drittel der Tiere für den französischen Markt.
SPACE: Internationale Messe mit Schwerpunkt Tier
Jedes Jahr im September findet in Rennes, der Hauptstadt der Bretagne, die internationale Viehmesse SPACE statt.
Im Kontext steigender Produktionskosten hat SPACE heuer das Thema Energie in den Mittelpunkt gestellt: Energie sparen, Energie erzeugen, Energieautonomie anstreben, den Verbrauch von Abfallenergie reduzieren und den Anteil erneuerbarer Energien erhöhen. Während der Pressereise werden auch folgende Themen behandelt werden:
- Geschichte: Lebensmittel auf Korsarenschiffen
- Tierernährung: Mineralien im Tierfutter
- Energie: Auf dem Weg zur Energieautarkie für landwirtschaftliche Betriebe
- Ernährungssouveränität: Wo steht Frankreich in Sachen Fleisch?
- Viehhaltung: Energielösungen für Landwirte auf der SPACE 2023

Aus diesem Anlass hat ENAJ beschlossen, seine Generalversammlung 2023 dort abzuhalten.

Energy, protein and fibre are essential but not enough to cover all the animals’ needs.

These needs are increased at certain times in their lives, for example, for milk production.
