PANAzoo attended the 75th ICAR Annual Meeting, held in Verona in 2026: an international reference event for animal recording, data management and innovation applied to the livestock sector.
Being present at such a high-level technical event is an important opportunity for PANAzoo to exchange knowledge with experts, researchers, companies and international professionals working on the development of increasingly advanced systems for monitoring, managing and improving farm performance.
An international forum for the livestock sector
The ICAR forum offered the opportunity to explore key topics for the future of modern farming: from data quality to digitalisation, from artificial intelligence to environmental sustainability, as well as new perspectives on animal welfare and production efficiency.
PANAzoo paid particular attention to the sessions dedicated to the sheep and goat sector, an area in which the company has always been committed to developing specific solutions for milking and individual animal identification.
Great interest was also given to the meetings related to the cattle sector, with a focus on environmental topics, sustainability and the role of data in evaluating and managing dairy farms.
Data, technology and sustainability
One of the most significant aspects highlighted during the event was the increasingly central role of data in modern livestock farming. The collection, analysis and interpretation of information from animals and milking systems are becoming essential tools to improve farm management, support daily decisions and contribute to more efficient and sustainable production.
For PANAzoo, these topics are fully aligned with a corporate vision focused on technological innovation, intelligent milking system management and the development of solutions designed to support farmers in both current and future challenges.
Enrico Santus elected ICAR president
During the Verona meeting, the election of Enrico Santus as president of ICAR, the International Committee for Animal Recording, was welcomed with great satisfaction.
His appointment marks a historic achievement: Enrico Santus is the first Italian to hold this important position within the organisation. It is a significant recognition of Italy’s contribution to research, data quality and the evolution of the international livestock sector.
PANAzoo and the future of animal recording
PANAzoo’s participation in ICAR Verona 2026 confirms the company’s commitment to closely following the technical and scientific evolution of the sector.
Innovation, sustainability, data management and attention to different animal species are increasingly important elements in the development of systems and solutions that meet the needs of modern farmers.
PANAzoo will continue to invest in this path, with the aim of contributing to a more efficient, connected and aware livestock sector.
