Description
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture administers this program for poultry farms, integrators, and allied industries affected by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). It reimburses demonstrable financial losses associated with inclusion in a state or federally mandated control or quarantine zone. Depending on the applicant and round, eligible costs include lost income, specified operating expenses, and working capital to reopen farming operations after a mandated quarantine.
The program has multiple rounds. The round-five application is for biosecurity enhancements, while round six addresses documented financial losses affecting poultry farms, integrators, and businesses. Applicants should use the application for the relevant round because eligible expenses and reimbursement limits differ.
