—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. Feb. 5, 1977 94 USDA considers quarantine facility NEW YORK, N.Y. - The U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed criteria for the location, design, construction and operation of an overseas livestock quarantine facility that would screen cattle prior to shipment to USDA’s new animal import center to be constructed at Fleming Key, Fla. Officials of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection (APHIS) said the quarantine facility would be located at a foreign port-of embarkation. This would be one of the safeguards when, for the first time since 1930, cattle may be imported into the United States, via Fleming Key, from areas designated by USDA as having foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). or rin derpest, two highly con tagious foreign livestock diseases.
