The amount of ongoing additional costs is determined as a flat rate for certain husbandry procedures by the Thünen Institute (TI) and the Board of Trustees for Technology and Construction in Agriculture (KTBL).
Funding for ongoing additional costs is available to all businesses, including those that already operate in a particularly animal-friendly manner (“existing businesses”). However, only if the ratio of animal population and area maximum 2.0 livestock units/hectare corresponds.
The funding therefore only includes companies with appropriate space resources or companies that have appropriate cooperation agreements to secure the space.
