Animal handling facilities
at the Pennsylvania State
Fairgrounds, Harrisburg,
Pa., have been approved by
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) as a
port of export for air ship
ment of livestock.
Officials of USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS)
said the facilities, located in
the livestock portion of the
Farm Show Building, meet
federal requirements for
handling and examining
livestock prior to export.
APHIS approval also
provides for shipment of the
animals through the
Harrisburg International
Airport.
All animals passing
through livestock export
terminals must be examined
by APHIS veterinarians to
assure that they are free of'
communicable disease and
that they meet the health
requirements of the
receiving nations.
APHIS officials have
previously approved use of
the Farm Show Building for
livestock exports under
special temporary permits;
however, with steadily in
creasing use, action was
taken to formally designate
Harrisburg as a port, of
export for livestock.
In recent years Harrisburg
has become the principal
export terminal for shipping
Holstein-Fnesian dairy cat
tle. During the six months
from' July through
December 1974, fourteen

shipments totalling 1,461
head of cattle were
processed at the State
fairgrounds and shipped out
of the Harrisburg airport.
APHIS officials noted that
export operations" must be
suspended when major
shows are held in the Farm
Show Building during four
weeks of each year: the
Pennsylvania Farm Show in
January, the Eastern Sports
show in February, the All-
American Dairy Show in
September, and the
Keystone International
Livestock Exposition in
November. *
APHIS standards for
approved export facilities
include: Proper lighting and
restraining devices for
veterinary examinations;
paved, skid-resistant floors
for pens and chutes; safe
gates and fences; adequate
space for handling each
shipment; separation of
different lots of livestock;
and provisions for feed,
water and shelter.
In addition to Harrisburg,
ten other locations have been
approved for general
livestock export by air:
Richmond, Va.; Miami,
Tampa and St. Petersburg,
Fla.; New Iberia, La.;
Houston, Tex.; San Fran
cisco, Calif.; Portland, Ore.;
Moses Lake, Wash.; and
Honolulu, Hawaii.
New York City and San
Juan, P.R., have been ap
proved for limited shipments
of horses by air or sea.
APHIS has also approved
ten ocean ports, ten Mexican
border ports, and about 50
Canadian border ports for
the export of animals.
Notice of this action will be
published in the March 6,
Federal Register, and
becomes effective im
mediately.
