Teat feeders, milk carts with mixers included or computerised calf feeders will qualify for 40% grant aid.
A minimum investment of €1,000 is required and there is a maximum ceiling of €7,500. Once a farmer invests in a feeder, they can apply for aid on calf troughs, barriers, pen dividers or milk heaters.
