Bulgarian Poultry Farmers Eligible for Animal Welfare Funding

Bulgarian poultry farmers have a new opportunity to enhance their operations and improve animal welfare conditions through a dedicated financial aid program. The Ministry of Agriculture has announced that over 21 million euros are earmarked for this initiative, providing a significant boost for farmers committed to higher standards of care for their birds.

This financial assistance is crucial for implementing necessary upgrades and changes that align with evolving animal welfare regulations and consumer expectations. The program underscores Bulgaria's commitment to modernizing its agricultural sector and ensuring that its producers meet both national and European Union standards.

Farmers are urged to take note of the application deadline, May 15. This timely support aims not only to subsidize the costs associated with improved welfare practices but also to encourage a broader adoption of these beneficial methods across the industry. The funding is expected to cover up to 100% of eligible costs, making it a substantial incentive for participation.
