National Pork Producers Council President Duane Stateler applauded the inclusion of several NPPC animal health priorities in the Senate Ag Committee’s reconciliation package. “America’s 60,000-plus pork producers thank Chairman Boozman (BOZE-man) for fighting to include vital animal health priorities in the reconciliation legislation,” said Stateler. The priorities included funding for the National Animal Vaccine and Veterinary Countermeasures Bank. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association also announced support for cattle health measures in the legislation. “A successful farm or ranch starts with healthy cattle, and as cattle producers face the increasing risk of a foreign animal disease outbreak, the need for robust cattle health provisions is even more crucial,” said NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Tanner Beymer. The legislation advances support for the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program and the National Animal Health Laboratory Network. “We’re urging the Senate to quickly pass these provisions so they can become law,” Beymer added.
