The USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture is investing $17.6 million in research on highly pathogenic avian influenza and African swine fever. The funding includes $12.7 million for 27 animal disease projects and $4.8 million for 10 animal welfare projects under the One Health framework.
The funding targets vaccine and control research for diseases that could disrupt poultry and pork supplies and trade, but it does not change near-term feed demand. Its price impact is minimal.
