Just three demonstrators - one dressed in a chicken costume - protested some distance away from the centre as exhibitors and visitors entered the building.
The demonstrators were carrying banners declaring "Meat is Murder" and "Poultry Killers Go Home".
The protestors were being watched by a small number of police, although the demonstration was peaceful.
More than 880 companies are exhibiting at the show displaying equipment and services from the farm through to the processor.
The exhibition has attracted a large number of visitors from around the world, including a sizable contingent from South and Latin America.
