PED Case Study

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

In today’s episode of our sheep farming vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we blend farm life with a bit of local sightseeing as we welcome fellow sheep farmers visiting from Alberta! After completing the morning chores, we take a scenic trip to Washburn Locks on the historic Rideau Canal—just minutes from our farm. With perfect timing, we watch several pleasure boats and even the Kawartha Voyageur cruise ship navigate the locks, a rare treat for visitors and locals alike.
