In June 2020, World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) announced Taiwan had been removed from the list of "food-and-mouth" (FMD) disease zones. It is encouraging news for the Taiwan swine industry, and all industry stakeholders are excited about the market outlook. Ms Sabine Liu, General Manager of Informa Markets Taiwan Branch, said "Livestock Taiwan Expo & Forum" is one of the leading international livestock exhibitions run by Informa Markets. Every year, our show attracts many professional buyers from different countries, such as UAE, Turkey, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines etc. It is the best business platform for Taiwan companies to do business and connect with overseas markets. This year, due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and travel restriction, we have launched the first-ever online exhibition, digital product showroom and online matchmaking system which can facilitate the online trading and provide the flexibility for our international buyers and exhibitors." Informa Markets Taiwan Branch has launched the digital product showroom that visitors can browse the online product category and plan for the meetings before the show.

Ms Liu stated that the live event will be run in accordance with Informa Markets AllSecure Standard. It is a set of practical measures to enhance the health & safety standards at our events after COVID-19. In our event, we will introduce a series of safety measures such as biosecurity tunnel, enhanced broadcasting to remind our participants to wash and disinfect their hands regularly, putting on face masks and keeping the social distancing etc. We are committed to maintain a high level of biosafety and personal hygiene, and foster the development of the livestock industry. Mr. Chang Sheng-Chin, the Secretary General of the Swine Association Republic of China, said, "After removing Taiwan's name from the list of FMD diseases zone, we are excited about the market outlook. However, as the outbreak of African Swine Fever continue globally, we should stay alert and enhance our collaboration for entering the global livestock market.

With the increasing demand for smart farming technologies within the livestock sector, many industry players have made substantial investments in technology innovation. For instance, Sun Mines Electronics Co., Ltd will display Rotary Vane Type Gas Blower for livestock wastewater treatment which originally designed for industrial use. Aidmics Biotechnology creates iSperm mCASA, the first mini/mobile computer-assisted sperm analyzer. This iPad-based system is for breeders and husbandry staffs to monitor livestock semen qualities, including concentration, motility, sperm kinetics, etc. This greatly enhances their breeding efficiency. Aidmics also collaborates with Calyx Biotechs Inc. and FOX-TECH to showcase their smart-farming IoT sensor solutions. SYNBIO TECH INC. is specialized in research and development, manufacturing, and application of lactic acid bacteria. Its SYNLAC™ series products include the multi-strain direct-fed microbial feed additive used to improve the water quality, degrade ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and other spoilages, inhibit pathogen, reduce the treatment of antibiotics, decrease stress and elevate the carcass quality of pigs.
