Agriculture & veterinary

1. Introduction to the Agriculture & Veterinary Industry

The agriculture – livestock – veterinary sector plays a crucial role in food security, public health, and export activities. Its products include animal feed, fertilizers, veterinary medicines, vaccines, and breeding farm products. These products often require strict preservation, hygienic and airtight packaging, easy transportability, and resistance to environmental conditions.

As global population growth drives increasing demand for safe agricultural products, animal protein, and veterinary goods, businesses in this field must improve productivity, standardize quality, and comply with biosafety and disease control regulations.

Automation in packaging and material handling has become an inevitable solution to meet these challenges.

2. The Role of Automation in the Agriculture & Veterinary Industry

Automation delivers essential benefits to this sector:

Ensures hygiene & biosafety: automated systems reduce human contact, are easy to clean, and minimize the spread of bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
Accurate & sealed packaging: animal feed, veterinary drugs, and microbial products require precise dosing and leak-proof packaging to prevent moisture and contamination during storage.
Increases productivity & reduces labor: automatic systems streamline operations like case erecting, sealing, labeling, and date coding — saving time, labor, and cost.
Flexible for various products & scales: handles a wide range of packaging types — from small sachets and pouches to large boxes and bulk materials — adaptable to seasonal or market changes.
Traceability & quality control: labeling, coding, and batch tracking ensure compliance with international standards and veterinary inspection requirements.

3. ETEK’s Equipment & Solutions for the Agriculture & Veterinary Industry

ETEK provides specialized machines and systems such as:
