Quarantine centers speed livestock shipments via air routes
U.S. quarantine export facilities at airports across the country, led by APHIS, prepare animals for international shipment. New centers in Portland and Houston join ongoing ones in Miami, Richmond, New York, San Francisco, St. Petersburg, and Tampa, with holding pens, inspection chutes, and labs to meet USDA standards. Exports to 98 countries surged, boosting farm sales and countering trade deficits as dairy, beef, sheep, and other livestock move by air under government oversight.
