The goal remains to rid Southern California of VND, while protecting the rest of the country\u2019s poultry from the disease.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/AHFSS\/Animal_Health\/Newcastle_Disease_Info.html\">Link to CDFA&#8217;s VND information page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USDA secretary Sonny Perdue is making available an additional $45 million to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and its partners to address the ongoing virulent Newcastle disease (VND) outbreak in Southern California.\u00a0 This funding will allow APHIS &hellip;
