The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service awarded $336,677 under the Cooperative Agreement to the Nebraska Department of Agriculture to support animal health national surveillance and response activities from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022. The funding supports initiatives for avian, cattle, equine, cervid, small ruminants, swine, and zoonotic diseases under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA No. 10.025). As the sub-awardee, the Nebraska Library Commission will assist the Nebraska Department of Agriculture in conducting disease surveillance and emergency response efforts to protect U.S. agriculture from economically damaging animal diseases and ensure public health. The award enables Nebraska to support the agency's goal of safeguarding the nation's food supply through early detection of potential outbreaks.
