Sixth PED case in a month



A grow-finisher operation in Lambton County is dealing with an outbreak of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus.

It is the second in Lambton County this month and the sixth in the province in a month, all of them in grow-finisher barns. The older hogs involved will likely survive their bouts of the disease which is usually fatal for newborns.

This is the 134th case in Ontario since the first outbreak in January, 2014.
