02 Jun 2026 Funded biosecurity vet visits for poultry now available

Defra has launched funded Poultry Biosecurity Reviews as part of the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway.

A Poultry Biosecurity Review is a funded vet visit designed to give you practical, site-specific advice based on how your business works.  You’ll receive £430 per review to help cover the cost of the visit. You can choose your own vet, arrange the visit at a time that works for you and pay them as usual, then claim the money back through the scheme. To be eligible for a funded visit you must have a SBI and CPH number and care for a minimum of 1000 hens or 500 geese/turkeys/ducks. Read more here.
