Participating in the 21st Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies Animal Science Congress (AAAP 2026), C.P. Vietnam shared its experience with the integrated Feed - Farm - Food system, presented solutions currently being applied in production, and expanded its connections with the scientific community and industry partners.

AAAP 2026 was held at the National Convention Center in Hanoi from October 28 to 31, 2026. Organized by the Animal Husbandry Association of Vietnam under the theme “Sustainable Animal Production” the congress welcomed 1,697 registered in-person participants, including 627 international delegates from 45 countries and territories.

One of the congress’s key outcomes was the Hanoi Declaration on Sustainable Animal Production, which aims to benefit people, the environment, and animals. Recommendations on nutrition, health, animal welfare, the circular economy, and data-driven management also align with initiatives C.P. Vietnam is implementing in practice.

With 33 years of experience alongside Vietnam’s agriculture and food industry, C.P. Vietnam brought its expertise in the integrated Feed - Farm - Food system to the congress. The company’s booth attracted hundreds of delegates, experts, and visitors with presentations on automation, animal nutrition, farm management, and food processing. Through these exhibits, visitors could explore how the different stages of production are connected to improve production efficiency, quality control, food safety, and traceability.

Integrating technology into animal nutrition, health, and welfare

In animal feed production, C.P. Vietnam develops nutritional solutions tailored to different animal species and growth stages while applying automation to control processes, ensure consistent quality, and maintain traceability.

At its farms, C.P. Vietnam develops the Smart Farm model, combining closed-house systems, automation, sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) to support livestock management. These systems monitor temperature and humidity and regulate ventilation, cooling, feed delivery, and water supply. The collected data helps farm managers monitor livestock conditions and make timely adjustments to animal care practices.

C.P. Vietnam is developing modern livestock production practices that integrate biosecurity and animal welfare. Veterinary diagnostics and consultation, together with multi-layered biosecurity protocols, help prevent and control diseases. Meanwhile, practices based on the “Five Freedoms” principle are applied to ensure suitable living conditions, maintain animal health, and reduce stress. These efforts are linked to welfare requirements throughout the entire process, from farming and transportation to slaughter.

Efficient resource use and gradual reduction of environmental impacts

At the booth, C.P. Vietnam presented its sustainability framework, built around three pillars: Climate Protection (Climate) - Improving Quality of Life (People) - Creating Sustainable Food (Food). These priorities are translated into operational practices, ranging from resource use and emissions management to livelihood support.

Under its Green Farm initiative, C.P. Vietnam focuses on reusing treated wastewater for suitable purposes, controlling odors and dust, and developing green spaces throughout its farm system. At farms equipped with biogas systems, livestock waste is processed to recover biogas. After appropriate treatment, this gas can be used to generate electricity, helping recover energy from waste.

Since 2021, C.P. Vietnam has stopped using coal in its boiler operations, switching to biomass fuels such as wood chips, sawdust, and corn cobs. By 2025, the total solar power capacity across its entire system had reached approximately 51 MWp, with renewable energy accounting for around 34% of total energy consumption.

The SAP Net Zero Intelligence Platform (SNIP), operational since March 2026, supports the collection, standardization, and analysis of greenhouse gas emissions data. Data-driven management enables the company to monitor emission sources and develop appropriate solutions as it progresses towards its Net Zero 2050 goal.

The “C.P. Vietnam - Journey for a green Vietnam” program was also introduced at the booth. During the 2021-2025 period, the program planted 1.52 million trees. From 2026 to 2030, it plans to plant an additional 1.5 million trees, aiming to contribute a total of 3 million trees to Vietnam.

Sharing expertise and supporting livestock farmers

To ensure that technological advancements deliver practical benefits, C.P. Vietnam continues to provide professional consultation, technical guidance, and support to livestock farmers in adopting practices suited to their actual conditions. Guidance on farm management, biosecurity, and disease prevention helps strengthen production capacity while connecting technological applications with farmers’ livelihoods.

Through AAAP 2026, C.P. Vietnam continues to engage with scientists, experts, and partners to stay updated on new developments, share experience, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Through these connections, the company hopes to help translate knowledge into practice and contribute to a modern, efficient, and sustainable animal industry in Vietnam.
