NMPF Statement on New Funding to Protect Livestock Health Amid H5N1 Outbreak

Gregg Doud, President and CEO, National Milk Producers Federation

NMPF

“We thank USDA for its leadership and important work with dairy farmers in meeting the challenges posed by H5N1. Collaboration and communication across all levels of government, and among all segments of the livestock industry, is critical in making sure that producers can continue to feed Americans and the world with safe, nutritious food. We look forward to working with USDA and all of dairy’s stakeholders to ensure that these challenges are met.”

The National Milk Producers Federation, based in Arlington, VA, develops and carries out policies that advance dairy producers and the cooperatives they own. NMPF’s member cooperatives produce more than two-thirds of U.S. milk, making NMPF dairy’s voice on Capitol Hill and with government agencies. For more, visit www.nmpf.org.
