After going months without a new case of the Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv), Manitoba Pork says there have now been two cases found in the province in less than a week.
On May 6th, Manitoba's Chief Veterinary Officer confirmed positive test results for the province's 12th PEDv case from a finisher operation in southeast Manitoba.
This farm is within 5 km of the infected sow farm that was confirmed PED positive on May 2nd.
Manitoba Agriculture’s Emergency Operation Centre is continuing to operate, assisting the affected producer and conducting a full disease investigation.
Biocontainment measures have been implemented at the site.
Producers within a 5 km radius of the infected site and other contacts with the site have been alerted, and are monitoring their herds and collecting samples for testing.
