In the Topro Knowledge Base, a lot of attention is paid to, among other things, sustainability, profitability and solutions in livestock farming. Throughout the year there are many themes that require attention.

Sustainable livestock is essential for the existence of livestock farms. An important part of the sustainability theme is the lifespan of animals. We are convinced that the sector can take a big step in terms of sustainability and profitability if the lifespan of animals can be extended. We think along with you about every detail, because it’s about details!
