A
trucker from Alberta returned with a trailer infected with Porcine Epidemic
Diarrhea virus, prompting Saskatchewan pork industry leaders to urge farmers to
be cautious.
The
trailer had picked up sows at a Manitoba assembly yard, took them to a
processing plant in Wisconsin, was washed at a facility in Wisconsin, then
picked up a non-livestock cargo and returned to Canada.
The PED
was detected by a routine environmental sampling program.
