The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) awarded $125,000 to the Wyoming Livestock Board under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025) effective April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026. The cooperative agreement supports USDA disease traceability requirements through the efficient distribution and management of livestock electronic identification systems. The award funds program management, data management, and information transfer activities designed to enhance the USDA's capacity to monitor and respond to animal disease threats.

The Wyoming Livestock Board, a state government entity based in Cheyenne, delivers these services as part of its broader mission to maintain animal health and disease surveillance across Wyoming's livestock sector. The funded activities align with the federal program's objectives to protect U.S. agriculture from economically injurious animal diseases through enhanced traceability infrastructure and collaborative disease management initiatives with federal agencies.
