The five pigs were tested for H5N1 out of an abundance of caution.

The case is concerning as pigs can become infected with both bird and human viruses at the same time.

Officials said there are no concerns about the safety of the nation's pork supply.

It's unclear how the pig in Oregon was exposed to bird flu.
