USDA Blog » USDA’s National Animal Disease Center Makes an Impact on Agriculture

In February, I had the opportunity to visit USDA’s National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa. This campus hosts employees from both APHIS and ARS, who work together with tremendous collaboration.  ARS employees conduct research on diseases of economic importance to the U.S. livestock and poultry industries. APHIS employees work to protect and improve the health, quality, and marketability of our nation’s animals, animal products, and veterinary biologics.
