none

Value

Applicants can receive up to 70 per cent cost share for eligible expenses (retroactively to April 1, 2022), up to $100,000 per enhanced location, for up to $500,000 per business.

Description

The Poultry Biosecurity Preparedness Initiative is cost-share funding to assist eligible non-supply-managed poultry and waterfowl farmers, meat processors and other businesses in taking action to increase biosecurity and reduce the risk of disease spread. This program is open to poultry and waterfowl farmers that are non-supply-managed operations and have flocks of more than 300 birds.

Eligible Applicants

Eligible applicants are part of Ontario’s non-supply managed poultry value chain and are defined as follows:

  • A producer is a legal entity that raises, owns or houses non-supply managed poultry with a minimum 300-bird flock under a valid Farm Business Registration Number (FBRN), or an allowable exemption.
  • A processor business is a legal entity that is involved directly in the slaughter of non-supply managed poultry.
    • Eligible processor businesses are registered under the federal Safe Food for Canadians Act or are licensed abattoirs under the provincial Food Safety and Quality Act, 2001.
  • An agri-business is a legal entity servicing non-supply managed poultry and is operating as a veterinary clinic, grading station or hatchery (including balut).

Eligible Expenses

Some expenses may be eligible if they are specifically required for biosecurity improvements and/or HPAI prevention and preparedness activities for the non-supply managed poultry sector. These include:

  • in-kind contributions, including contributions of existing full or part-time staff’s labour and own equipment, cumulatively up to $2,000 in cost-share per location (up to $2,857.14 in eligible in-kind expenses can be claimed for cost-share)
  • one-time labour costs (not in-kind), such as contract salaries, benefits and specific per diem fees for persons that are not full or part-time staff of the applicant and that are persons at arm’s length to the applicant
  • one-time costs for the rental of facilities, processing equipment, or machinery with the exception of education, training, assessment and planning activities
