Animal disease is one of the greatest threats to animal agriculture. Recent experiences in the United States and abroad with avian influenza, exotic Newcastle disease, foot-and-mouth disease, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) have made us aware of how animal diseases can affect the food supply, human health, and national economies. Animals provide consumers with food, fiber, medicine, companionship, recreation, and natural resources such as wildlife and aquaculture. CSREES supports the health of livestock, poultry, horses, fish, and other agriculturally important commodities through research, education, and extension activities.
