Launch of Expanded Get Funding to Improve Animal Health and Welfare Service

The Animal Health and Welfare Pathway (England only) has launched the expansion to allow livestock keepers with more than one herd or flock of the same animal species to claim funding for each. This follows the expansion to multiple species funding for mixed enterprises earlier this year. Further information can be found here

DEFRA will also be hosting a webinar on this topic for livestock keepers looking for more information on the funding available for sheep flocks. Register here

The process for livestock keepers to register to access funding is simple and quick and allows keepers of beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, or pigs to get funding for a vet visit, with an optional follow-up to test for key endemic diseases.
