More animal welfare in Bavaria

Bavaria has been supporting its livestock farmers for three years now with its own Bavarian Animal Welfare Program – BayProTier. This year, farms can once again apply for animal welfare funding for a one-year commitment period starting on July 1. Applications can be submitted from June 1 to June 30 via the iBALIS service portal.

The Bavarian Animal Welfare Program offsets ongoing costs (e.g., costs for additional labor or bedding) for improved animal welfare in areas such as breeding sows, piglet rearing, and fattening pigs. Various requirements, such as more space, outdoor climate stimulation, or floor design, must be implemented.

According to the Bavarian Ministry of Agriculture, all sub-measures will be offered unchanged in the 2025/2026 funding period. In piglet production and piglet rearing, a distinction is made between a comfort level and a premium level with different requirements and different premium rates. Funding can be applied for for the four modules: mating barn, waiting barn, farrowing barn, and piglet rearing. In pig fattening, outdoor climate barns or barns with outdoor access, with appropriate space requirements, are supported. A flat rate of €70 is recognized as eligible for funding for one BayProTier-compliant fattening pig place.
