It's fair season again, with county fairs being held this summer and state exhibitions mostly running through the late sumer and fall. Are you taking precautions for exhibiting at swine shows given concerns about the spread of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus? We are making sure all transport vehicles get washed. We are planning to isolate all stock returning to the farm. We are not planning to bring back any stock from the fair. We are not exhibiting this year due to concerns over PED.

PRRS virus aerosol transmission among herds is a major concern in pig-dense regions and filtration of incoming air, in combination with standard biosecurity procedures, has been demonstrated to prevent transmission of PRRS virus into susceptible herds. read more

Source: American Association of Swine Veterinarians   A University of Illinois research study suggests that slaughter facilities and livestock collection points may serve as an effective means of spreading porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus. In his analysis, Jim Lowe, DVM, assessed the risk that collection points, such as packing plants, play in promoting the initial outbreak of a novel disease organism by estimating the rate of contamination of trailers with PED virus during the unloading process. read more
