[quote]Feb. 16 (UPI) -- A quarter of the personnel working in nearly five dozen U.S. laboratories trying to solve the latest avian influenza outbreak have been laid off as part of the Trump administration's plan to reduce the size of the federal workforce.

The firings come amid an ongoing runup in the price of eggs during a time when President Donald Trump has vowed to "end inflation" and reduce the price of groceries.

The cuts come at the USDA's National Animal Health Laboratory Network, which manages data and ensures consistency in labs doing the testing while tracking animal disease outbreaks, making sure they follow similar protocols and standards.[/quote][/quote]
