Porcine Epidemic
Diarrhea virus has been showing up at federal and provincial packing plants, so
hog farmers and truckers are being advised to step up biosecurity measures.
Lori Moser,
manager of the Ontario Pork Industry Council office, writes “producers and truckers should
consider processing facilities, abattoirs and assembly yards as high risk
for PEDV transmission and should take appropriate biosecurity precautions.”
Ontario
has had one outbreak since July – a barn in Lambton County.
