Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what new proposals they have undertaken to improve the health and welfare of farmed animals within their annual health and welfare review.

As part of the fully funded annual health and welfare review eligible cattle, sheep and pig keepers are able to access bespoke advice from their choice of vet alongside access to diagnostic testing for key endemic diseases and conditions. This advice includes recommended actions to take and signposting to further support available. This will support farmers to continually improve the health and welfare of their livestock and the increases in productivity that comes with this.
