With the aim to improve animal welfare and supply chain efficiencies within Indonesian production systems, this year, the LEP (Livestock Export Programme) Expo was held in The Spring Club Summarecon Serpong, Tangerang Banten, on 9 – 10 June 2022. As the exhibition entered its fourth year, it was officiated by Dean Merrilees, the Minister Counselor (Agriculture) of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, and David Galvin, the Chairman of the Australian Livestock Exporters Council.
During the exhibitions, more than 20 exhibitors presented various presentations on technical products in the ruminant industry and conducted discussions on nutrition, animal health, infrastructure, and access, among others.
The programme, which was jointly funded by Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) and LiveCorp, featured a keynote speaker, Hermawan Kertajaya, the founder of marketing consulting firm MarkPlus Inc. Other notable presence at this exhibition included Nuryani Zainuddin, the Director of Animal Health, Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health, from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Behn Meyer Animal Nutrition, Indonesia team also took part in the exhibition. On these two days, Behn Meyer brought some products related to the dairy and cattle industry, like Kalvolac, Zinpro, Klinofeed, Hilyses, and Intra Repiderma. In fact, Intra Repiderma had attracted most visitors to our booth.
As Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in the cattle industry is becoming more prevalent in Indonesia, farmers and animal owners are actively searching for alternatives to prevent this virus from worsening. "Intra Repiderma can support animal recovery faster, especially on wounded food," said Angga Galih Pradana, Sales Executive from PT Behn Meyer Animal Nutrition division. Intra Repiderma is also a popular search because it contains chelated organic micronised minerals (copper and zinc), which can be activated from below, above and within the animal’s skin surface. The product can be used on dairy cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs. Apart from Intra Repiderma, Zinpro mineral essential, Kalvolac, Hilyses, and Klinofeed also attracted exhibition visitors.
