<p>We are providing a range of financial incentives for improving animal health and
welfare to farmers through the new Animal Health and Welfare Pathway. These incentives
focus on published health and welfare priorities for each sector and will include
support for farmers wishing to transition away from the use of enriched ‘colony’ cages
for laying hens and farrowing crates for pigs.</p><p> </p><p>Specifically, we are
exploring options for large infrastructure grants, building on the animal health and
welfare grants already available towards the cost of equipment and technology which
offer improvements in the health and welfare of livestock.</p>
