If you’re a commercial farmer keeping pigs, sheep, dairy cows, beef cattle, layer chickens, or broilers, you could be eligible for grant funding to improve health and welfare standards across your livestock operations.
The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) 2025 is a government-backed scheme designed to help you invest in proven equipment that enhances animal wellbeing. By improving welfare, you can boost productivity, deliver more reliable, higher-quality food production, and ultimately increase profitability across your farm.
Maintaining the right environment is critical for livestock health, welfare, and productivity, particularly during periods of high temperatures. The Animal Health and Welfare Grant can help fund the installation of High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fans, designed to deliver:
Improved air circulation – moving large volumes of air gently and consistently across barns and poultry sheds, without creating draughts.
Reduced heat stress – creating a cooler, more stable environment to protect animal welfare during hot weather.
Enhanced welfare outcomes – supporting better growth rates, feed efficiency, and overall animal wellbeing.
Increased productivity – helping maintain reliable yields even during temperature extremes.
Lower energy costs – HVLS fans are highly efficient, offering significant savings compared to traditional ventilation methods.
More sustainable farming practices – contributing to reduced environmental impact while supporting higher welfare standards.
High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fans are designed to move large volumes of air at a slow, consistent speed. Unlike traditional high-speed fans, HVLS fans create gentle airflow across large spaces without causing draughts, ideal for maintaining a stable, comfortable environment for livestock.
Built for energy efficiency and durability, HVLS fans support animal welfare by reducing heat stress and improving air quality, helping farmers create healthier, more productive environments year-round.
