The FONA Holstein 2026 is set to be the pinnacle event of the dairy industry in Mexico, occurring at the Centro de Convenciones de Querétaro from July 27 to July 29. Organized by the Holstein Association of Mexico, the event will bring together leading researchers, industry suppliers, and decision-makers to discuss global trends in animal genetics, health, and financial viability.
The forum will focus on three core pillars: an elite livestock exhibition, technical training sessions, and commercial networking spaces. The livestock exhibition will feature the best Holstein breed specimens in the country, showcasing their high biological manufacturing standards and outstanding genetic merit.
Networking areas will be available for forming strategic alliances and supply contracts, aimed at modernizing production units to meet the global market's economic challenges.

On July 28, the discussions will delve into individual feed efficiency as a central theme for financial health in the dairy business, led by Chilean consultant Dr. Nathalia Merino. Later, Ph.D. Jeffrey Bewley from Holstein USA will present practical strategies for applying predictive algorithms to daily milk production.
The event will conclude on July 29 with expert panels evaluating innovations to optimize milking routines and efficiency.
