PED outbreaks now total 75

The toll of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus outbreaks rose to 75 with two more confirmed late last week.

One is a farrow-to-wean farm in Norfolk County and the other is a finisher barn in Perth County.


Despite the setbacks, the statistics indicate that the industry is turning the corner on this highly-contagious disease. Outbreaks in Ontario are much lower than a year ago and are down across the United States.
