正文(英文) | Defra announces new funding for farmers across England to tackle the highly contagious disease Bovine Viral Diarrhoea. ![]() An £5.7million funding package to help farmers tackle a damaging cattle disease has been announced by the Farming Minister George Eustice today. The highly contagious disease, Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD), costs UK farmers an estimated £60 million per year. It impacts animal welfare within affected herds and reduces farm productivity and profitability. Available in England for three years through the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE), the funding will enable farmers to apply for one-to-one farm advisory visits by a veterinary practitioner. The vets will work with keepers of breeding cattle to tackle BVD on their farms. The programme will also pull together new ‘clusters’ of cattle keepers to work together against BVD, by sharing best practice and tackle this disease as a group of like-minded individuals who share the goal of eradicating BVD from their herds. Farming Minister George Eustice MP, who is today attending the Lincolnshire Show, said:
Christine Middlemiss, UK Chief Veterinary Officer said:
The project is being delivered by SAC Consulting, part of Scotland’s Rural College, under the title of ‘Stamp out BVD’, who will recruit local vets to offer the programme to farmers on the ground. It is larger than any previous BVD project in England in terms of both funding and scope, and offers a comprehensive package to farmers. Neil Carter, Project Manager at SAC Consulting, said:
More information on the scheme, including how to apply, is available on Scotland’s Rural College website.
