Polaciones announces 8,000 euros in grants for livestock parasite control

The Polaciones City Council has announced grants for the deworming of bovine, equine, ovine, and caprine livestock, with a total credit of 8,000 euros and under a competitive bidding process. The call is published in the Official Gazette of Cantabria (Boletín Oficial de Cantabria) no. 215, dated November 9, 2026, pages 56881 to 56883, with the official reference CVE-2026-8742 and the identification number BDNS (Identif.): 939615.

The resolution is issued under the municipal Ordinance regulating this line of aid and the general regulations on subsidies, and its full text can be consulted in the National Database of Subsidies (Base de Datos Nacional de Subvenciones). The expenditure is charged to item 4190.47900 of the council’s general budget. In the event that the total amount of the grants exceeds the available credit, it will be prorated proportionally among all applicants entitled to aid.

Census in Polaciones and holding in the REGA

Natural or legal persons who meet the following requirements may apply for the aid:

• Be registered (empadronadas) or have their registered office in the municipality of Polaciones.
• Be listed as an active holder, as of the date of application, of a holding registered in the Livestock Holdings Registry of Cantabria (REGA).
• The animals subject to deworming must appear in the holding’s Registry Book or in the equivalent livestock document.

Those who fall under the circumstances provided for in Article 12.2 of the Cantabria Law 10/2006, of July 17, on Cantabria Subsidies, and in Article 13.2 of the Law 38/2003, of November 17, General Law on Subsidies, are excluded. The competent body to grant the aid is the mayor of the corporation.

Up to 500 euros per beneficiary

The maximum individual amount is set at 500 euros, calculated according to the type of animal dewormed:

• Bovine: 5 euros per head.
• Equine: 6 euros per head.
• Ovine: 1.5 euros per head.
• Caprine: 1.5 euros per head.

The number of animals for each holding as of the closing date of the period will be obtained by the city council from the corresponding service of the Ministry of Rural Development, Livestock, Fisheries and Food of the Government of Cantabria. Payment will be made by deposit into the bank account indicated by each applicant in their request.

From November 10 to December 31

Applications shall be submitted to the Entry Registry of the Polaciones City Council, addressed to the mayor, from the day following the publication in the BOC until December 31, 2026, through any of the channels provided for in Article 16 of Law 39/2015, of October 1.

The required documentation is as follows:

• Application addressed to the mayor-president, including a third-party registration form and bank account for the deposit.
• Copy of the National Identity Document.
• Sworn declaration of being up to date with tax obligations and Social Security.
• Authorization for the consultation and transfer of personal data.
• Invoice accrediting the activity performed.

If the documentation presents deficiencies, a period of ten business days will be granted to rectify them; failure to do so will result in the applicant being considered to have withdrawn. The maximum period for resolution and notification is three months from publication, meaning that administrative silence shall be considered a rejection.

Justification and expenditure control

The beneficiary must justify the deworming of their livestock in the last semester of 2026, providing an invoice or receipt detailing the product acquired and its quantity or the veterinary service. Payment will be made once the expenditure has been justified. The grant will be rendered void, with an obligation to reimburse following a hearing with the affected party, if the data in the application or justification are falsified, and the city council may carry out inspections and verifications. Notifications will also be published on the municipal notice board, located in Polaciones, Barrio Lombraña, s/n.

An optional appeal for reversal may be filed against the acts of the call before the mayor’s office within one month, or directly as a contentious-administrative appeal before the corresponding Court of Santander within two months. The resolution is signed in Lombraña by the mayor, Vicente I. Gómez Fernández, dated October 22, 2026.

The call reaches the valley’s livestock sector at a time of rising costs and with an amount that, in practice, covers partial treatments: with a ceiling of 500 euros, a cattle farm could only deworm a hundred head, meaning that the pro-rating provided for in the rules is decisive for the final distribution among the farms registered in the municipality’s REGA.
