USDA FAQ's and resources about coronavirus (COVID-19). LEARN MORE
To keep interested parties informed of USDA Animal Care news and updates, we began sending out stakeholder messages via our agency’s stakeholder registry in March 2015. For your reference, all of these stakeholder messages are available on this webpage, and all subsequent messages will be added to this page.
It is easy (and free) to receive our future stakeholder messages directly. If you are interested, please register here. When registering, you can select the topics that most interest you. For example, you can choose to receive messages solely relating to elephants or enforcement or research facilities, or you can choose to receive all Animal Care messages.
