PED in Lambton County




There has been another outbreak of deadly porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, the first since May and the 115th since the disease first showed up in Ontario.

The outbreak was Oct. 22, but wasn’t posted on the internet until Nov. 15.

Also, an outbreak on May 15 was added at the same time.

The Oct. 15 outbreak was on a farrow-to-finish barn in Lambton County and the May 15 one on a wean-to-finish farm in Middlesex County.


The industry has said making outbreaks public is important for controlling spread  of the virus.
