Applications for the Animal Health and Welfare Equipment and Technology Fund are now open. These grants are the next step on the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway.
The grant supports improvements in livestock health and welfare, offering between £1,000 and £25,000 towards the cost of items from the list in the guidance. They are open to livestock farmers who keep cattle, pigs, sheep, broilers or laying hens.
Happier, healthier and more productive livestock are good for your business. Find out more about the benefits these grants can bring by reading Defra’s new Farming blog post.
The application portal is open from 23 March until 15 June.
If you’re interested in applying, Defra encourages you to discuss the grant with your vet first, to get advice on which items would best help your livestock. Please also read the guidance on GOV.UK and the full list of items on offer before making an application.
