New Case of PED Reported in Quebec

A new case of PED in a relatively isolated (more than 10 km to the nearest commercial pig site) finisher site in the Montérégie region was reported yesterday.  Nine of 12 oral fluid samples were positive and typical clinical signs were evident. 
 
The trace back activities from the positive loading dock on Nov. 3 identified two positive trailers that led to this production site. 
It is estimated that it took 7 days from shipment to identification of the farm case.  "All stakeholders (transporter, assembly yard, processor and producer) should be commended for their transparency and full cooperation".

Step into the world of dairy farming, where technology and tradition come together to produce premium milk and cheese. In modern dairy farming, cows are raised in climate-controlled barns, monitored by smart sensors that track health and milk quality. Automated milking machines and robotic cleaners ensure hygiene and efficiency at every stage of dairy farming. Once collected, the fresh milk is transported to advanced facilities, where the dairy farming process continues — pasteurization, fermentation, and cheese making powered by precision equipment. From lush pastures to sterile factories, dairy farming represents a revolution in how the world’s finest dairy products are made — sustainable, efficient, and delicious.
