As part of its mission to protect the health of American agriculture, the United States Department of Agriculture's(USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service(APHIS) works to prevent foreign animal diseases from entering the U. S. and harming [the] nation's livestock and poultry. One way that APHIS does this is to enforce the Swine Health Protection Act, which provides rules for feeding human food waste to pigs. This practice, which is commonly known as garbage feeding, can spread diseases if contaminated meat products are fed to pigs. 2, record 2, English, - garbage%20feeding

A genus of viruses in the family Reoviridae. They are widespread in nature but have little known pathogenicity and are not identified as causing any specific animal diseases. Reoviruses isolated from cattle and dogs appear to cause clinically unapparent infections; in cats they uncommonly cause conjunctivitis and gingivitis, in horses coughing and ocular discharge without fever, and in poultry a viral arthritis. 3, record 3, English, - reovirus
