The purpose of this collection is for APHIS to conduct disease surveillance at livestock marketing, slaughtering, and rendering facilities and establishments through the use of agreements allowing blood and tissue testing, and review of livestock and poultry movement records. These actions help identify, trace, and prevent the spread of animal diseases within the United States and have an important role in protecting the health of the U.S. livestock and poultry populations.
