The Idaho Department of Agriculture received a $268,620 cooperative agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025) for the period of April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.

The award supports the Idaho Department of Agriculture in conducting avian, cattle, equine, cervid, and small ruminant initiatives focused on national surveillance and response activities related to animal health. As the place of performance for the cooperative agreement, Idaho will leverage the funding to deliver products and services centered on monitoring and responding to economically damaging plant and animal diseases and pests that could impact U.S. agriculture. The one-year award period allows the state agency to work collaboratively with USDA APHIS on initiatives to safeguard animal health.
