USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service made its first purchases of diagnostic tests to test livestock for African swine fever (ASF) and foot and mouth disease (FMD). The purchases were made possible through funding in the 2018 farm bill establishing the National Animal Vaccine and Veterinary Countermeasures Bank.

Livestock producers are welcoming the first “significant purchase” of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine by the Department of Agriculture to stockpile a new vaccine bank.
