Alberta has fourth PED case

Alberta has had its fourth outbreak of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, but the provincial agriculture department and the Alberta pork board won’t say who or where.

The three previous cases were all in Southern Alberta.

Any producers within 60 kilometres “will be notified separately and provided additional biosecurity instruction,” the Alberta Pork marketing board said.

Ontario has had 124 outbreaks.

As with Alberta, Ontario officials don't name the farmer or the precise location - only the county or region - when there's an outbreak.

Whose interests does this lack of detailed information serve?
