Together with the Rural Payments Agency (RPA), we've created a series of step-by-step guides to help livestock keepers apply for the Annual Health and Welfare Review, a funded annual vet visit, and the endemic disease follow-up visit.
Eligible poultry keepers can now get a funded visit from a vet, who will provide practical advice tailored to their farm to help reduce the risk of disease.
From 22 January 2026, payments for the animal health and welfare review and the endemic disease follow-up will increase. This post sets out the new rates and explains how to access the funding.
Each month, we bring together the latest policy updates, funding opportunities, consultations, research and statistics, helping you stay informed about the issues that matter to you.
