USDA’s APHIS announced that annual funding for three Farm Bill animal-health programs will increase from $30 million to $233 million starting in fiscal 2026. The programs support disease preparedness and response, laboratory detection, and vaccine and veterinary countermeasure stockpiles; up to $80 million in competitive grants is available through January 7, 2027.
More funding for prevention and outbreak response could reduce the risk of disruptions to livestock production and related feed demand, though it does not directly change current commodity supply or demand.
