From precision feeding and AI health monitoring to climate control, air filtration, and low-energy wastewater treatment, international technology companies are turning the modern pig farm into a more connected, measurable and resilient production system.
Modern pig production is being rebuilt around a practical question: how can farms make faster, better decisions while using labour, feed, energy, and water more efficiently? At the 15th World Swine Industry Expo (WSE 2026) in Zhengzhou, nine international exhibitors will present technologies designed to answer that question in real production environments.
Visitors will be able to compare precision feeding platforms, AI-powered respiratory monitoring, professional cleaning systems, intelligent heating, livestock lighting, advanced air filtration and wastewater treatment in one place. More importantly, they can meet the technical and international business teams behind these solutions and discuss how the technologies could fit different farm sizes, climates, and market requirements.
WSE 2026 will take place on October 22–24, 2026 at the Central China International Convention and Exhibition Centre in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone. To access these exhibitors, professional visitors who complete pre-registration can visit the exhibition free of charge. Registration for the Leman China Swine Conference is separate.
The same visit also extends beyond the farm gate. Held concurrently on October 22–24, 2026, the 2026 World Pork Festival connects pork production technology with cold-chain logistics, pork quality, market channels and China’s regional pork culture.

Why smart pig farming technology matters now
Smart farming is no longer limited to adding sensors or automating a single task. The strongest systems connect equipment, environmental data and management decisions. A feeder can generate information on intake. An acoustic monitor can flag changes in respiratory health. Heating and ventilation controls can respond to animal needs. Filtration, cleaning and wastewater systems can strengthen biosecurity while reducing avoidable resource use.
For producers and investors, the business value lies in the connection between these systems: more consistent execution, earlier intervention, stronger process control and clearer evidence for operational decisions. WSE 2026 offers international visitors a concentrated view of how global technology suppliers are approaching these operational priorities in China’s large and rapidly evolving swine market.
Nine international exhibitors to meet at WSE 2026
JYGA Technologies: precision feeding built around production data
Canada-based JYGA Technologies develops the GESTAL family of electronic feeding systems for pigs. Its approach combines precision feeding equipment with VISION software and ROBUST product lines, supporting individual feeding, group-housing management and performance monitoring. JYGA also operates its own 2,200-sow farm, giving the company a direct production environment in which to test and refine new solutions. International visitors looking at sow feeding, labour efficiency or data-led herd management can use the exhibition to compare system configurations and discuss implementation with their team.
Kärcher: professional cleaning for stronger farm biosecurity
Cleaning is one of the foundations of swine biosecurity, but its effectiveness depends on equipment, workflow and consistency. Germany’s Kärcher will present professional cold-water and hot-water high-pressure cleaners, foam-cleaning accessories, and disinfection solutions for barns, equipment and transport areas. Visitors can explore how mechanised cleaning may shorten turnaround time, remove organic material more effectively and support more repeatable hygiene procedures across commercial farms.
SoundTalks: turning pig sounds into actionable health information
Belgium-based SoundTalks uses AI-powered acoustic monitoring to analyse coughing and other respiratory sounds continuously. The system combines barn-based sensors, environmental measurements, cloud connectivity and real-time alerts to help farm teams identify changes earlier than routine observation alone. At WSE 2026, veterinarians, producers and integrators can examine how continuous sound monitoring fits into respiratory-health protocols, labour planning and data-based decision-making.
H&V: advanced filtration media for cleaner incoming air
Hollingsworth & Vose, known globally as H&V, develops advanced filtration materials used across air, liquid and energy applications. For modern pig farms, high-performance filter media can support fresh-air and biosecurity systems by capturing airborne particles and potential pathogen-carrying aerosols. Visitors can discuss media selection, system design requirements, pressure-drop considerations and application-specific performance with filtration specialists.
AAF International: integrated air filtration for livestock facilities
AAF International offers a broad portfolio spanning prefiltration, high-efficiency filtration and gas-phase filtration. In swine facilities, a staged approach can help manage dust, aerosols, odours and gaseous contaminants while protecting sensitive equipment and supporting healthier indoor conditions. WSE visitors can compare filter classes and system strategies for different barn designs, ventilation loads and environmental-control objectives.
InterHeat: targeted heating and intelligent temperature control
South Korea’s InterHeat focuses on heating technologies for agriculture, including intelligent farrowing-house heaters, infrared systems and carbon-heating equipment. The objective is to deliver suitable warmth to piglets while limiting unnecessary heat exposure for sows and improving energy control. Producers planning nursery or farrowing upgrades can discuss automatic temperature adjustment, remote control and installation options for different housing conditions.
DAMLY: livestock heating and environmental-control systems
DAMLY combines livestock heating equipment with broader environmental-control and biosecurity applications. Its portfolio includes gas and electric heating systems, automated barn controls and equipment for wash-down and disinfection centres. For farms operating through cold seasons or large temperature swings, the discussion is not simply about adding heat, but about maintaining stable conditions while balancing energy use, animal comfort and operational reliability.
JK Lighting: infrared heat and lighting for livestock production
JK Lighting Korea develops infrared heat lamps, livestock LED lighting and related control systems for pig and poultry production. Light and heat requirements change by production stage, and targeted equipment can help farms create more stable micro-environments for piglets. At the expo, visitors can review lamp designs, lighting options, dimming controls and potential energy-saving strategies for new or existing facilities.
Engelbart: low-energy wastewater treatment and resource recovery
Engelbart (Wuhan) Eco-Tech localises German-origin wastewater-treatment expertise for applications in China. Its SST, ASS, and Waterflo technologies are designed around efficient biological treatment, modular equipment and lower-energy operation. For pig farms facing tighter environmental requirements, the company provides a starting point for discussions on manure wastewater, odour control, organic-solid treatment and resource-recovery pathways.
