description

In June 2018, AHDB was successful in applying for grant funding to undertake a five-year Dairy Improvement Programme (DIP) which is made possible through the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the Welsh Government and the European Union.

One of the strategic projects delivered through the Programme is HerdAdvance.

HerdAdvance

The project aim is to pilot how improving disease control awareness and pre-emptive animal health and welfare management on Welsh dairy farms can improve on-farm efficiencies and profitability and ensure that businesses realise their full potential in the market place. A new whole farm holistic approach to disease prevention will be applied taking into consideration other influential factors such as nutrition, genetics and the suitability of buildings.

The project will ensure that Animal health plans become an active on-farm management tool aimed at promoting the health and welfare of farm animals by setting out disease prevention, detection and management procedures. The aim is to recruit up to 500 farmers to participate in the Herd Health Planning and Monitoring element.

AHDB requires suppliers who can provide:

1.a cost benefit analysis of the HerdAdvance project and
2.case studies setting out the economic benefit of proactive animal health planning and management.

The requirements of the service include:

an initial review of the suitability of the data being collected as part of the project i.e. are they the right ones to undertake a cost benefit analysis of animal health interventions.
an analysis of baseline data collected on the first visit on farm.
annual analysis of data collected and any outcomes/impact to date.
a final cost benefit analysis at the end of the programme (deadline 31 March 2023).
2 to 3 case studies each year, based on the project (starting in 2020 and continuing till 2023).
