Diseases contracted and spread by farm animals can impact agriculture and public health. They also negatively affect the animal's welfare. The National Agricultural Library (NAL) provides literature and other resources to help USDA agencies conduct animal health and welfare research as well as actively control and prevent the spread of disease in livestock. These materials can also be useful to the public to learn more about cattle, swine, sheep, goat, horse, and poultry diseases.
