USDA’s APHIS is offering $80 million in fiscal year 2027 competitive grants for state, regional, livestock-industry and veterinary projects to prevent, detect and respond to animal diseases. The funding is part of expanded federal support for animal health programs, including laboratory testing and disease-response preparedness.
More investment in prevention and faster outbreak detection may reduce the risk of livestock and poultry disease losses and related disruptions to feed demand. The announcement does not indicate an immediate change in commodity supply or prices.
