This case occurred in the very early stages of the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) outbreak in Ontario. It involves a farrow-to-finish farm, located in southwestern Ontario, which is a liquid-feed facility with more than 500 sows. The owners (Van Deelen family) have been in the business for 10 years and the attending veterinarian was Dr. Sue Burlatschenko. It was the fourth herd in Canada to be diagnosed with PED in late January 2014. Click here to read the full case study
