Waterloo farrowing barn has PED

A farrowing barn in the Waterloo Region has come down with Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus on Dec. 23.

On Dec. 17, a Waterloo finishing barn had an outbreak.

They are the 68th and 69th outbreaks in Ontario this year.

The epidemic started in Ontario in January and it’s likely that it came in a feed ingredient – blood plasma – imported from the United States.
