Weekly Overview: US Pig Numbers Begins to Show Impact of Disease

2014-01-06 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

ANALYSIS - Surveys of pig numbers in the US and Germany show reductions from the previous year. In the first case, there are signs that Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea in 20 states is beginning to impact overall output. The situation there looks likely to deteriorate further if an unconfirmed report of the greatest weekly increase in new cases so far turns out to be correct. For Germany, pig numbers - especially sows - appear to be settling down again as the industry adjusts to the introduction of the sow stall ban one year ago.
