We protect against diseases that could harm the health, quality, or marketability of our Nation's agricultural animals. With a vast network of partners, we help U.S. producers prevent, control, and when possible, eliminate these diseases from our country.

We ensure that veterinary biologics–including vaccines, bacterins, antisera, and diagnostic test kits–used to diagnose, prevent, and treat animal diseases are pure, safe, potent, and effective.
We help U.S. agriculture thrive in the global marketplace and work with countries around the world to promote a safe, fair, and predictable trade system.
