Maintaining strong crop and livestock health is becoming increasingly important for New Brunswick farms facing disease pressure, quality standards, and rising production risks. The Improving Crop and Livestock Health and Quality program offers targeted financial support to help agricultural businesses strengthen how they prevent, manage, and respond to plant and animal health challenges on the farm. Delivered by the Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries, the program focuses on practical improvements that protect productivity and long-term sustainability.
This funding is designed for farms and agri-food operations looking to develop or enhance health management practices across crop and livestock systems. Projects may involve addressing specific on-farm health issues, implementing new approaches to disease prevention, or improving quality outcomes that support market access and food safety. Support typically covers a portion of eligible project costs, with funding reaching up to roughly seventy-five thousand dollars, helping reduce the financial burden of making meaningful operational improvements.
The program is particularly relevant for New Brunswick producers who are ready to take proactive steps toward healthier animals, stronger crops, and more resilient farm operations. Applications are generally accepted on an ongoing basis, subject to available funding and program priorities. For farm operators considering investments in plant or animal health initiatives, exploring the full program details through GrantHub can help determine whether this opportunity aligns with your operation’s needs and plans.
