SWHLI
BMLI activity has been encouraging and filled with optimism that it can deliver real sustainability to its project area.
The month of December provided a stiff challenge for the team in developing a detailed business plan to apply for further funding from the South West Healthy Livestock Initiative (SWHLI) within the RDPE funding. This would be to deliver a programme of support specific to the beef and sheep producers that farm within the 18 parishes of the moor. The support would be based on a high degree of diagnostic work to identify conditions within the livestock that has a negative impact on cow fertility and overall profitability.
The news regarding the appraisal process and whether BMLI has been successful with their bid is expected in March.
