The Africa Animal Feed & Health Expo – Nigeria & Western Africa Edition is Western Africa’s largest international exhibition and conference dedicated to animal nutrition, feed manufacturing, feed ingredients, veterinary health, feed technologies and sustainable livestock production.

Hosted in Lagos, Nigeria, and co-located with the Africa Poultry & Livestock Expo, Africa Milling Expo, Africa Pet Industry Expo and the Africa Bakery Expo, the event brings together the complete grains, bakery, animal protein, pet and feed value chain under one roof.

Nigeria is the largest economy and one of the biggest livestock and animal feed markets in Africa, making Lagos an ideal location for a regional edition of the Africa Animal Feed & Health Expo.

The Lagos, Nigeria Advantage

1. Access to Africa’s Largest Consumer Market

Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country, with a rapidly growing urban population driving strong demand for meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products and aquaculture.

This growing demand continues to fuel investment across the feed manufacturing and animal health industries.

2. West Africa’s Largest Feed Manufacturing Industry

Nigeria hosts one of Africa’s most developed commercial feed industries, producing millions of tonnes of compound animal feed annually.

The country is home to numerous large commercial feed mills serving poultry, livestock and aquaculture producers.

This creates significant opportunities for suppliers of:

• Feed processing equipment
• Laboratory technologies
• Veterinary pharmaceuticals
• Animal nutrition solutions

3. A Regional Hub for Poultry and Livestock

Nigeria has one of Africa’s largest commercial poultry industries alongside substantial dairy, beef, pig and aquaculture sectors. Commercial producers are continually seeking technologies that improve productivity, reduce feed costs and enhance animal health.

The Expo offers these businesses direct access to global suppliers and technical expertise.
