Avian initiative- FY21 animal health national surveillance ad response activities

The Indiana State Poultry Association Inc. was awarded a $169,082.96 cooperative agreement 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 funding supports the Association's AVIAN INITIATIVE activities, including animal health national surveillance and response efforts. The Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program aims to protect U.S. agriculture from economically injurious plant and animal diseases and pests, ensure the safety and potency of veterinary biologics, and ensure the humane treatment of animals. The cooperative agreement will allow the Association to deliver services that further this program's goals in Indiana through March 2022.
