The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service is advancing animal disease preparedness and response through its Farm Bill animal health programs. Beginning in fiscal year 2026, funding for these programs will increase to $233 million annually under the One Big Beautiful Bill.
APHIS will host three virtual listening sessions to gather stakeholder input on how these new funds should be used to strengthen national, regional and local capabilities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to animal disease outbreaks. APHIS will use the feedback to inform future program planning.
