Our cooperative has just received the second trophy of the “Ivan Tolpe Award” thanks to our ValuTRAC solution, which combines the V-scraping technique (TRAC) with the production of liquid fertilizer from pig urine.

The Flemish Coordination Center for Manure Management (VCM - Belgium) thus rewards innovative and promising techniques in the treatment of effluents.

Through our ValuTRAC innovation, our challenge is to find a solution capable of upgrading nitrogen from urine into liquid fertilizer.

Our ValuTRAC process works in three steps:

Step 1: preparation

Step 2: volatilization

Step 3: air washer

After a 100% digital year in 2020, the Space tradeshow reopened its doors to the public and professionals for 3 face-to-face days supplemented by a digital day for this 35th edition.

For this long-awaited great comeback, the tradeshow has met its challenge and is doing very well ... with just over 1,100 exhibitors, including 320 international, and more than 74,000 visitors.

A real living space, the Cooperl stand extended over more than 200 m².

This year, it was structured around major axes such as our Porc Bien-Etre (PBE) specifications, environmental certifications and the promotion of crops.

A reception point about the training "Compagnons Cooperl" was set up to meet people interested in the process.

As every year, the Innov'Space awards ceremony were eagerly awaited ... On the Cooperl side, two candidates were pre-selected: Calipro and Vereijken. This distinction rewards the latest innovations in the animal production sector. For this edition, 35 winners were pre-selected.

During the presentation of the trophies, special mentions were awarded by the jury in order to underline a high degree of ingenuity or innovation. This year, 5 winners were able to proudly display the "3 stars'' trophy on their stand, including Calipro for its flexible and modular building concept AGILITRAC and Vereijken France for its “Nid Nanny” concept, for ultimate comfort for piglets in free-range maternity . Congratulations to the teams!
