BVA AWF Funding Available For Sheep, Cattle And Horse Welfare

The BVA Animal Welfare Foundation (BVA AWF) last night (Wednesday) announced that it is seeking to fund projects designed to improve the welfare of sheep, cattle and horses. Details of the fund were outlined at an evening Reception at the House of Commons hosted by The Rt Hon Dr Gavin Strang MP, by Carl Padget, Chair of the BVA AWF Trustees, who said: “We are delighted to be in a position to make substantial funding available, under the Norman Hayward Fund, for research into the diseases and welfare of sheep, cattle or horses. This is a fantastic opportunity for researchers, both academic and practice-based, who can demonstrate that their proposal will have a practical impact on the welfare of these animals, as desired by the late Mr Hayward’s generous bequest.” The Foundation will welcome and consider all funding proposals submitted by 5.00 pm on Monday 31 December 2007 and successful applicants will be announced in May 2008.
