What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Supporting Avian Virus Eradication Act" or the "SAVE Our Poultry Act," seeks to amend the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990. It proposes to add highly pathogenic avian influenza as a high priority research and extension area. The amendment would allow research and extension grants to be made to land-grant colleges and universities. These funds would focus on studying highly pathogenic avian influenza. Specifically, the research would target vaccine development and the enhancement of biosecurity procedures for poultry producers.
