Disease Alert: PDCOV and PED
This message is being sent on behalf of Swine Health Ontario.
Don't let outbreaks turn into a potential epidemic.
Active cases of PDCOV and PED have risen sharply in Ontario. All producers and their business partners visiting the farm are strongly encouraged to increase biosecurity vigilance, particularly as we approach planting season where risk of transmission through manure movement is increased.
Report all potential cases to your veterinarian as soon as possible. Additional information is linked below.
**PDCOV or PED do not pose a risk to human health or food safety. PDCOV and PED only affect pigs and does not pose a risk to other animals.
