Lleida Showcase Highlights Modern Digital Technologies for Swine Fattening and Precision Livestock Farming

On December 2, 2025, La Llotja de Lleida hosted the AGROTEST DIGITAL Conference: Technological Demonstrations in Pig Production, a key event dedicated to bridging digital innovation and commercial swine farming operations. Jointly organised by Fundación Grupo Cajamar, the Universitat de Lleida (UdL), the i+Porc cluster, and INNOVACC, the conference served as a collaborative meeting point for researchers, tech developers, veterinarians, and pork producers.

The event focused on hands-on technological solutions aimed at transforming everyday farm management. Throughout the day, attendees participated in guided small-group visits to live company demonstrations, exploring cutting-edge precision livestock farming (PLF) tools, smart feeding systems, silo level sensors, environmental control units, and automated monitoring devices.

In addition to commercial demonstrations, the conference featured technical sessions led by academic and research institutions, including representatives from the Universitat de Lleida. Presentations highlighted recent research developments in data fusion, Internet of Things (IoT) cloud architectures, machine learning applications, and decision-support algorithms aimed at optimizing pig growth, feed conversion ratios, and supply chain coordination between fattening farms and slaughterhouses.

The conference concluded with a networking session, reinforcing the commitment of the Catalan and Spanish swine sectors to digital transformation, data sovereignty, and sustainable livestock production.
