PEDV Task Force Needs Your Help

The pork industry PEDV Task Force is currently discussing recommendations for dealing with PEDV/SECD in the U.S. pork industry. One of the options on the table is to develop a voluntary industry control program for this virus. To make more informed decisions, the task force needs information from the field on the use of live virus inoculation and treatment of feed for control of the SECD viruses. All answers will be anonymous but they will help inform the task force about the current and future level of use of these management procedures. Please complete the survey by May 16.
