Two more cases of PED

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea has infected two more Ontario operations.

Both are grower-finisher operations in Perth and Huron.

According to a posting on the Ontario Pork website today, both outbreaks were recorded on Jan. 28. That's a week-long delay in posting the information.

The website postings help the pork industry to be vigilant to keep the highly-contagious and deadly virus from spreading.

The tally now is 131 outbreaks since the disease first showed up in Middlesex County on Jan. 22, 2014.
