New Case of PED Reported in Ontario

A new case of PED was reported yesterday in a farrow to finish farm in Middlesex County, Ontario.

Clinical signs were first observed on Nov. 10 with laboratory confirmation on Nov. 12.

"The most significant risk factor for this farm was pig transport.  The producer and his veterinarian have developed a control and elimination plan for the farm and have notified key service providers." (OSHAB)

This is the first case in Ontario since July 21st.

Also, the producer in the last case of PED in the Montérégie region of Quebec on Nov. 5, had multiple buildings with only one barn with clinical signs of diarrhea and vomiting. The pigs were sourced in Ontario.

At present, PED has not been detected on any farms in Alberta. If you have any questions or concerns about your biosecurity, speak to your herd veterinarian or contact Javier Bahamon at the Alberta Pork office at 780-469-8982, or by email at javier.bahamon@albertapork.com.

Don't be the one to let it in.
