Oxford farm hit by PED

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

It’s the 82nd case in Ontario since the first one in January, 2014.

Ontario has had far more difficulty than other Canadian provinces in stopping the spread of the virus.


There were other cases this spring – July 2 at a farrow-to-finish farm in Lambton County, June 4 in a nursery in Wellington County and May 13 in a farrow-to-finish operation in Lambton County.
