USDA said its Farm Service Agency (FSA) expanded the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-raised Fish Program (ELAP) through the rule-making process to assist with “a portion of financial losses resulting from reduced milk production when cattle are removed from commercial milking in dairy herds having a confirmed positive H5N1 test.”
A confirmed positive test result through USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service National Veterinary Services Laboratories is required for a dairy producer to receive assistance.
As of July 2, USDA had confirmed cases in dairy herds in 12 states: Ohio, Idaho, Iowa, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Texas. USDA’s data listed 137 confirmed cases in the outbreak, with 56 coming in the previous 30 days.
In order to apply for assistance, USDA said dairy producers need to contact FSA at a local USDA Service Center.
