The 2024 Educational Farm
The Educational Farm is designed to bring together in one place all the animal species present at the Show. In the farmyard, the sheepfold, the stable and the cowshed, visitors will be able to meet rabbits, "pie rouge" and Gascon cows, Alpine, Poitevin and Rove goats, Suffolk and Solognot sheep, ponies and donkeys.
Its objective? To establish a dialogue between the public and those who devote their lives to animals: breeders, passionnates who work, for example, for the preservation of old breeds, but also veterinarians.
Every day, they will animate the animation area of the Educational Farm. Young and old will be able to approach animals and learn more about their life, their characteristics and how to take care of them, through 4 themes:
- One Health: showing the close links between human and animal health; the way we act, voluntarily or involuntarily, influences the ecosystems in which we live
- Animal Welfare
- Responsible pet ownership: what you need to know before adopting an animal
- The professions
