INTRODUCTION

Zaragoza, June 11–12, 2026

The Aragonese Association of Feed Manufacturers (AFAPIC) announces the celebration of the 9th International Congress of Animal Nutrition, which will take place in Zaragoza on June 11–12, 2026. This congress, one of the most prominent events in the field of animal nutrition, will bring together key players in the industry to discuss how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the sector.

Under the theme “The AI Revolution”, we will explore the most innovative advancements that technology is bringing to the field of animal nutrition and feed production. AI is revolutionizing formulation processes, diagnostics, data management, and quality control, offering solutions that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and traceability across the entire supply chain.

This event will serve as a meeting point to share experiences, discuss the global challenges facing the industry, and explore how the adoption of disruptive technologies can improve the sector’s competitiveness. With a packed agenda featuring expert presentations, round tables, discussion panels, and interactive workshops, attendees will have the opportunity to discover the latest trends, innovations, and strategies shaping the future of animal nutrition.

The congress will not only be a space for reflection and learning but also an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals and companies from around the world, forge strategic alliances, and discover new business opportunities.

The AI Revolution is underway, and it is essential for the animal feed sector to adapt to these changes in order to continue leading the production of sustainable, healthy, and high-quality food. We cannot ignore the impact of digitalization, and this congress will explore how artificial intelligence can be a key driver in the industry’s evolution.
