Supporting Yorkshire Farmers to Access Enhanced Animal Health & Welfare Funding
The Animal Health and Welfare Pathway (AHWP) offers significant financial support to help you improve the health and productivity of your livestock. With recent funding increases, there's never been a better time to ensure you're getting the full support your farm deserves.
What is the AHWP?
The Animal Health and Welfare Pathway is a government-funded programme designed to help livestock farmers access expert veterinary advice and implement proactive health planning for their herds and flocks. The scheme recognises that preventing disease is better for animal welfare, productivity, and your bottom line.
Recent Funding Increases
Great news for Yorkshire farmers: AHWP funding has been enhanced to provide even greater support. Eligible farmers can now access increased grant payments for annual health and welfare reviews and follow-up visits, making it more affordable than ever to invest in your livestock's wellbeing.
These grants can cover a portion of your veterinary costs for health planning, disease testing, and implementing preventative health strategies tailored to your farm.
