The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said May 10 it is paying dairy farmers $28,000 apiece to contain avian flu. The allocation happens nearly a month since the discovery of\u00a0avian flu in dairy<\/u><\/a>\u00a0products in mid-April, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) alongside the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have allocated a total of $200 million<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden\u2019s administration made the financing commitment through the three agencies after 20% of retail milk samples tested positive. Some 112 out of 905 cows that received tests for avian flu apparently returned positive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of this kitty, CDC will \u00a0use $34 million for tests, $8 million on vaccines and $3 million to monitor fluid waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HHS in its part will use $101 million to trace and monitor human exposure to infected cattle. It will also use the funds to research on possible virus mutations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FDA will utilize $8 million to keep retail milk safe and solidify its April report that pasteurization eradicated the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a press call on May 10, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that currently the milk and beef supply chain elicits \u201cno concern.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four-Month Roll Out<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The funding duration will last four months, during which the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will allocate $98 million to affected dairy farms. According to Vilsack, this will equate to $28,000<\/u><\/a> per recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four-month window is an extended testing period that takes into account the fact that there has been no precedent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, Doctor Keith Poulsen of the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory told reporters that the issue would not \u201cget fixed tomorrow.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that continuous monitoring offers forward insights of what to do in case of a future outbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest beneficiaries will be small-scale ranches that can easily test and cull their herds using the financial kitty. Large-scale farms are also benefiting but Poulsen says that they could lose up to $3 million after an outbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk Prices Steady<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Owing to the swift action of the feds to ensure milk safety, the prices of dairy<\/u><\/a> in the U.S. remain steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 12, the  wholesale price of milk per gallon (cwt) stood at $18.65<\/u><\/a>, equal to $0.42 per liter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparatively, the market price for milk per gallon had hovered between $18.32 and $18.72 on May 8 and 10 respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, as the federal authorities combat avian flu on dairy products through massive funding, the U.S.\u2019 milk market remains strong. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
