The policy statement will allow researchers to conduct brucellosis studies in large animals that cannot be easily housed or studied indoors. The ability to conduct outdoor host animal studies involving swine, elk, bison, and cattle will help APHIS gain important tools and information to continue with brucellosis eradication. At the request of Senator Daines of Montana, animal health experts, and livestock industry stakeholders, we have worked closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Homeland Security, and other leaders in the Greater Yellowstone area to ensure we can safely conduct the kinds of outdoor research studies we need in order to advance our ability to control and eradicate brucellosis, said USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Greg Ibach. I'm happy to share this draft policy today, as it will help us continue eradication efforts in key wildlife areas.' Ibach was joined by Senator Steve Daines and Congressman Greg Gianforte when he made the announcement at a ranch outside of Belgrade, MT. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
