Funded Vet Visits
14 August 2025
BCVA.UK
Many will be aware that funded vets visits for multiple herds or flocks of the same species are now available in England. This support is part of Defra’s Animal Health and Welfare Pathway.
To ensure farmers understand how this applies specifically to beef and dairy cattle, Defra is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 19th August at 11am.
This 1-hour session will cover,
- How vet visits can help spot and prevent health issues early – especially with BVD testing.
- What the funding covers and how to apply.
- How to book a vet visit and claim payment.
- How the optional follow up visit works – including the PI (persistently infected) hunt.
A recording will be available afterwards on Defra’s Webinars in 2025 page.
