A new solution for microclimate control on farms will be presented at AGRAVIA.

"The system collects and aggregates information from all the enterprise's buildings, evaluates and identifies problems, provides analytics, reports issues to users, and helps prevent heat stress in livestock housing," the company's press service told Agroexpert.

The updated version features an improved weight control system: young animal weight data is now displayed on the controller screen and automatically transferred to the software. Previously, this information was retrieved manually. An emergency power supply has also been added to operate critical microclimate systems during power outages. A simplified controller with push-button controls and reduced functionality has been developed for smaller operations.

Technological trends in livestock and poultry farming

According to TransNetIQ specialists, demand is growing abroad for smart animal monitoring systems that detect changes in behavior or appearance and help promptly detect diseases. This allows for dietary adjustments, increased productivity, improved breeding, and mortality prevention.

Robotic devices for poultry farming are also trending, in particular for preventing dampness.Substrates for floor-raised poultry houses—they turn the sawdust, promote drying, and stimulate the birds to be active. A promising approach is automatic sexing of chicks immediately after incubation, which increases the survival rate of the flock.

AGRAVIA and iAGRI are the main industry events of January.

"We annually select the AGRAVIA exhibition (formerly Agros and AgroTech) as one of the largest in the Russian agricultural sector. Presenting the new version of SPUTNIK-AGRO at the exhibition will help us position the product as a new, reliable, and effective domestic solution capable of replacing existing foreign counterparts," the developers noted.

In 2026, AGRAVIA will be held alongside the first international exhibition, iAGRI, dedicated to innovation and high technology for the agricultural sector—from artificial intelligence and robotics to biotechnology and precision farming. This combined format will allow participants and visitors to see the full range of solutions, from traditional technologies to future developments that could take the Russian agricultural sector to a new level. The exhibition will occupy over 65,000 square meters across five exhibition halls in Pavilion No. 3 of the Crocus Expo IEC and bring together over 30,000 industry professionals from Russia, neighboring countries, and beyond.
