Completed The Tier&Technik fair in St. Gallen has grown to be a significant event for livestock farming and agricultural production since its inception in 2000. Held annually in February, it attracts professionals from across the agriculture and animal husbandry sectors, offering a comprehensive platform to explore the latest industry trends, technologies, and innovations. Organized by Olma Messen St. Gallen, a leading name in trade fair management, Tier&Technik has become a cornerstone event in the agricultural calendar, offering a diverse range of activities and insights for both established professionals and newcomers to the field.
One of the main draws of the event is its diversity. The fair is renowned for its large animal exhibitions, where visitors can witness firsthand the best livestock breeds and interact with breeders, veterinarians, and animal care professionals. Alongside the exhibitions, there are numerous special shows, demonstrations, and live competitions that bring together the most advanced techniques in animal husbandry. The emphasis on dairy farming is particularly prominent, showcasing cutting-edge practices that aim to improve productivity, animal welfare, and sustainability. This focus is crucial as dairy farming continues to evolve in response to global challenges related to sustainability, food security, and climate change.
The fair covers a broad spectrum of topics, from the practicalities of animal health and nutrition to the implementation of smart farming technologies. Visitors can explore innovative solutions in farm management, including strategies for improving profitability and efficiency. Key themes also include energy management, automation, and digitalization, all of which are shaping the future of agriculture. The integration of technology, such as automation in feeding systems or the use of drones for monitoring herd health, has become increasingly important in modern farming, and Tier&Technik provides a comprehensive look at how these innovations can be applied in real-world settings.
Another vital aspect of the fair is its focus on ecological sustainability. In an era where environmental concerns are more pressing than ever, the event addresses essential topics like manure management, fertilizer cycles, and sustainable agricultural practices.

By providing access to the latest research, technologies, and solutions, Tier&Technik offers attendees valuable tools to navigate the challenges of maintaining an environmentally sustainable agricultural operation.
