FETF 2026: Gallagher solutions for Animal Health and Welfare grants

The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) 2026 opens for applications on 17 March 2026 and closes at midday on 28 April 2026. Farmers in England can apply for funding to invest in equipment that improves animal health, welfare and farm efficiency. Gallagher offers a range of weighing and EID solutions that align with several FETF item categories, helping farmers monitor livestock performance and make better management decisions.

Whether you are upgrading livestock weighing, adding EID capability or specifying equipment for a new handling system, Gallagher can support your next step. Some eligible items can be purchased directly through your local Gallagher stockist. Others are typically supplied as part of a complete package from a crate or handling system manufacturer with Gallagher technology included.
