A call for proposals, VP4-10.2.1.1-21, has been released to encourage livestock keepers to apply for funding to conserve the genetic stock of protected native and endangered farm animal species. The initiative is designed for individuals involved in the breeding of these endangered species, particularly those who keep females and in the case of poultry, mixed-sex herds. The application for this grant, available from January 2022, will help cover the additional costs associated with genetic conservation. This annual grant will be fully funded and the aid amounts will be consistent across the country.
