The USDA Animal and Plant HEALTH Inspection Service (APHIS) continues its efforts to contain outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in the United States. To date, the virus has been confirmed in 35 states and has affected more than 37.9 million poultry. APHIS's response includes working closely with animal health officials in affected states to rapidly identify and eliminate new cases of HPAI. Also yesterday, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack approved a $400 million transfer from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to APHIS to directly support efforts to respond to the spread of the virus.
