Alberta Pork PED Telephone Town Hall to Address Hot Button Issues

While the pace of PED has slowed in recent months, the threat is still very real, and many believe that the danger will increase in the fall.

With that in mind, Alberta Pork is hosting a Telephone Town Hall meeting on Thursday, July 31 to upate producers and industry on PED and discuss key issues including porcine plasma and the vaccine currently being used in the United States.

In addition to our expert panel that includes Dr. Egan Brockhoff and Dr, Frank Marshall, we're pleased to be joined by DL Hank Harris, President and CEO of HARRISVACCINES, Inc.

Draft Agenda:

* Update on the current PEDv situation in Canada and the United States.

* Discussion with our panelists about PEDv and Biosecurity practices

* Use of porcine plasma in starter diets

You'll also have a chance to ask questions of our speakers and get answers to your most pressing concerns around PED.

To participate, call 1-877-229-8493 on Thursday, July 31 at 10 am and enter Pin # 112339 when prompted.
