The Secretary of Agriculture may buy samples of tuberculin, serums, antitoxins, and similar products sold in the United States. The Secretary can test these products for detecting, preventing, treating, or curing animal diseases. The Secretary decides how to share the test results.

The Secretary of Agriculture may buy samples on the open market. This applies to tuberculin, serums, antitoxins, and similar products. It covers products made in the United States or in other countries, as long as they are sold in the United States. These products must be meant for detecting, preventing, treating, or curing diseases in domestic animals. The Secretary pays for these samples using money that Congress has already set aside for this purpose. The Secretary may test the samples to see how well they work. After testing, the Secretary may share the results. The law lets the Secretary choose the best way to spread this information.
