Farmers in England, including contractors in livestock sectors, have less than 2 weeks left to apply for grants between £1,000 and £25,000 to invest in new technology and equipment to boost animal welfare.
Grants are being provided for a variety of items that could help farmers improve their livestock health and welfare and will go towards the cost of specific items from a prescribed list set out by Defra. It is part of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund, with the animal health and welfare part of it closing on 15th June at midday for applications.
It is strongly recommended that you talk to a vet before you apply for animal health and welfare items so they can advise you if the items you’re applying for will help you improve the health and welfare of your livestock.
Before making an application, read the official grant guidance on GOV.UK. It sets out the eligibility criteria and the steps you need to follow.
Once you are ready to make an application, you can apply through the online portal.
Applying for these grants should take no longer than 20 minutes.
If you would like help applying, please contact our Stewardship & Grants Department on 01981 590514.
