Three finisher barns have been hit by Porcine Epidemic
Diarrhea virus, confirming predictions by the Ontario Pork Industry Council
that there will likely be more outbreaks before the situation is brought under
control.
All three are finisher barns, indicating they may have
bought pigs from nursery barns that have been hit by the virus.
The three are in Huron, Oxford and Middlesex.
That brings the total now to 28 farms in Ontario and one
each in Manitoba, Quebec and Prince Edward Island.
The first Canadian case was Jan. 22 in Middlesex County.
