Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) Grant 2025 – Applications Open 29th May
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has officially announced the next round of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF). Applications open on 29th May 2025 and close at midday on 10th July 2025.
This year, the fund is split into three key areas: Productivity, Slurry Management and Animal Health and Welfare.
We’re pleased to confirm that a number of JFC Agri products fall under the Animal Health and Welfare section.
How the Animal Health and Welfare Grant Works
DEFRA has allocated £16.7 million to support commercial farmers who keep Pigs, Sheep, Dairy Cows, Beef Cattle, Layer Chickens, or Broilers.
The goal of the fund is to support the purchase of equipment that improves livestock health and welfare — leading to better productivity, higher quality, and more consistent food production, ultimately boosting on-farm profitability.
To strengthen your application, you can increase your score by 20% by discussing your submission with a vet. Funded vet visits are available to support this – learn more: Funding to Improve Animal Health and Welfare – Gov.uk
