Cattle: Animal Welfare
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to monitor long-term animal health outcomes for herds participating in the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway in Buckinghamshire.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
Animal Health and Welfare is a devolved matter, and the information provided therefore relates to England only.
The Animal Health and Welfare Pathway supports continual improvement in farm animal health. Defra has an ongoing monitoring and evaluation approach to assess health and welfare outcomes relating to Pathway participation, so that lessons can be learned from periodic reviews. Our first Animal Health And Welfare Review: Process Evaluation Report - Ff0211has been published and can be found at https://sciencesearch.app.defra.gov.uk/ProjectDetails?ProjectId=21755. We will be publishing further information periodically, as evaluation results become available.
