The 11th on-farm case of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv) has been confirmed in Manitoba, this being the first case this year.
Manitoba's Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) has confirmed positive test results from a sow operation in southeast Manitoba.
The CVO has activated Manitoba Agriculture’s Emergency Operation Centre to assist the affected producer and conduct a full disease investigation.
Control measures were implemented immediately, and a plan has been developed for restricted site access, barn clean-up and animal care.
Producers within a 5 kilometre radius of the infected site have been alerted, and are monitoring their herds and collecting samples for testing.
