USDA, APHIS, VS, Veterinary Services

We play a key role in Emergency Stabilization efforts during animal health crises, such as disease outbreaks (e.g., Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, African Swine Fever). Our teams work with state and federal partners to implement rapid response measures, including quarantine, testing, and containment, to protect U.S. agriculture and public health.

Through our network of laboratories and diagnostic facilities, we support Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring of animals affected by foreign animal diseases or emergencies. This includes surveillance, diagnostic testing, and coordination with state and federal agencies to manage outbreaks and ensure animal welfare during critical periods.

We provide Domestic Travel Certificates to support the interstate movement of animals, ensuring compliance with health and regulatory requirements. These certificates are critical for transporting livestock, poultry, and other regulated species across state lines, facilitating safe and legal movement while mitigating disease risks.
