The pork industry in Manitoba is currently dealing with its worst Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea outbreak ever. The virus has a mortality rate of 80-100 percent in piglets under 2 weeks, and the province has had 96 cases since October.
Manitoba Pork General Manager Cam Dahl says the province has never had an outbreak last through a winter before.
The good news is fortunately in the last three weeks to a month we've seen the outbreak stabilize.
Dahl also said the best way for producers to keep PED out of their barns is to pay attention to biosecurity.
