Five Things to Keep in Mind:

1. PED has been detected in Manitoba.
2. All truck and trailers returning from the U.S. and from assembly yards must at least be properly washed and disinfected. It is your responsibility to make sure that all trailers are clean before they back up to your barn!
3. Practice strong biosecurity protocols on-farm; especially protocols for deadstock, live animal transport, and manure handling.
4. Report any change in scouring or loose, watery manure in your herd to your veterinarian immediately. These are the most common clinical signs of PED in all ages of animals. Other clinical signs include vomiting, dehydration, and going off feed.
5. The provincial government will cover the cost of testing for PEDv; and your confidentiality will be protected in doing so.
