During a Senate Committee on Appropriations meeting, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said USDA has made a concerted effort to reach out to trading partners about Bovine Influenza A Virus in dairy cattle. “We’ve seen very little restriction if you will. There’s a couple of countries expressing concerns, but for the most part, our trading partners understand that we’re on top of this.” Vilsack emphasized that dairy cows recover, the milk is safe and this issue is a “very, very low risk” for people.
