Testing our Herd for Johne's Disease - You Might Be Eligible For Animal Health & Welfare Grants

Testing for Johne’s Disease | Financial Support for Herd Health | UK Farm Life We tested our entire herd for Johne’s disease—a key part of our annual herd health plan. Regular testing like this helps ensure our breeding stock remain disease-free and of the highest quality for our buyers... 💷 You may be eligible for financial support to test your herd for endemic diseases like Johne’s—definitely worth looking into! Through the Annual Health and Welfare Review, farmers in England can access free vet visits and subsidised disease testing.
