Dairy industry | Grants to Help Dairy Industry with Disease Preparedness

The National Milk Producers Federation received funding from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program.

The funding will help with two projects designed to advance cattle disease preparedness. The first award will expand on funding the federation received in 2021 to build the National Dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) Biosecurity Program.

The FARM program provides dairy farmers with the tools to protect the health of their herd and employees from everyday and foreign animal diseases.

The second award will bring together stakeholders, including dairy cooperatives, milk haulers, milk testing labs, state and federal health officials, and National Animal Health Laboratory Network lab directors to conduct a gap analysis and create a report outlining current capabilities and guidance for the industry and policymakers to implement a foot-and-mouth disease diagnostic using bulk tank milk samples to provide herd-level disease surveillance in the event of an outbreak.
