Two PED outbreaks in Huron County

Two finisher barns in Huron County have Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, according to the most recent information from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

One broke June 9, the other June 12.

They are the second and third outbreaks this month after there were none during May.


This brings the total in Ontario to 61 since the first case in late January, widely believed to have been caused by feeding contaminated blood plasma imported by Grand Valley Fortifiers of Cambridge to make nursing-pig rations.
