On Tuesday 19 August, we hosted a webinar specifically for cattle farmers to explain how they can access funding for an Animal Health and Welfare Review and the follow-up vet visit for endemic diseases

The session, for both dairy and beef farmers, followed the webinars we held last month for sheep and pig farmers. 

Before watching the webinar, we encourage you to take a look at the guidance on GOV.UK (linked above) and a recent post by my colleague Chris which gives a good overview of the steps to apply and the funding available. 

Watch our webinar

In the webinar, you’ll hear: 

  • how the vet visit reviews can help you spot and prevent health issues early – particularly with testing for Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) 
  • how to apply and what the funding covers 
  • how to book your vet visit and claim your payment 
  • how the optional follow-up visit works – including the PI (persistently infected) hunt.
