Are you taking precautions for exhibiting at swine shows given the concerns about the spread of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus?
2013-08-02 23:42:11| National Hog Farmer
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.
