Lambton hog farm hit by PED

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus has broken out on a farrow-to-finish hog farm in Lambton County.

No further details are available from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.


It’s the 82nd outbreak of the disease that is devastating to newborn piglets. Last year it wiped out about eight per cent of the hog population in the United States.
