This $799,462 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) supports research to predict and control the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in U.S. dairy cattle. The primary goals are to: 1) collect data on cattle shipments and the HPAI outbreak, 2) develop predictions on cattle shipments and HPAI transmission, and 3) use these predictions to understand and control the spread of HPAI in the U.S. cattle industry. The project will be performed by Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division over a 3-year period from March 2025 to March 2028. The research findings will be used to enhance HPAI surveillance and response strategies in collaboration with the USDA and state veterinarians, with the aim of protecting individual producers and the broader cattle industry from the impacts of future HPAI outbreaks.
