Giving livestock farming a future

The Livestock Forum at the Research Institute for Livestock Biology (FBN) focuses on pressing issues in agricultural practice and policy on an annual basis. In order to facilitate fact-based discourse, the FBN brings together the findings of national and international scientists working in the field of livestock, from cattle, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens to fish and insects.
Each edition of the Livestock Forum has a specific focus, which is oriented towards responsible, socially accepted animal husbandry. The forum thus offers a platform for scientifically examining pressing sustainability issues, which are also the focus of the FBN's research. In addition to biodiversity, these include animal health and welfare, as well as climate and resource protection.

Focus for 2026: Animal-friendly rearing of cattle and pigs
