Pennsylvania's Agriculture Secretary gave an update Friday on animal health concerns following the East Palestine train derailment.

Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said the safety of animals and the environment are the top priority of Governor Josh Shapiro's Administration.

According to the release, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture veterinarians and Pennsylvania Animal Health Commission partners were in direct contact with livestock owners and private veterinarians within 10 kilometers of the train derailment during and after the incident. They advised those closest to the derailment on safe housing, feeding and caring for the animals during that time.

Private veterinarians were also given instructions for toxicology testing if any of their patients reported respirator or other symptoms.

The Department of Agriculture says they haven't received any reports of livestock, poultry or domestic animal health symptoms that can be traced to air contaminants from the derailment at this time.

They have received two reports of private vets treating horses affected by smoke from the controlled burn and are monitoring the situation.

Pet owners should contact their private veterinarian with any unusual respiratory issues or decreases in feeding, or milk and egg production.

The Department is in contact with the Pennsylvania EPA and the national EPA regarding water and environmental sampling results.
