PED Virus Hits Canada, Threatening To Devastate Pig Farms

Sausages and schnitzels could soon cost you a lot more bacon, thanks to a pig virus that has spread to Canada, with the potential to do severe damage to many farms. The virus was first detected in the U.S. last April, and has since spread to 22 states.

Now a farm in Middlesex County, Ont., is the site of the first Canadian outbreak of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), and the virus has spread to a second Ontario farm, this one in the Chatham-Kent region. A third possible case, also in Ontario, is being investigated.
