PEDV AND THE FEED SUPPLY CHAIN – RISK AND BIOSECURITY
Posted in: Pork Insight Articles, Production by admin on May 11, 2017
The role of contaminated feed in the transmission of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) has been the trigger for several research projects and industry wide speculation since its emergence in the USA in April 2013. The emergence of the PEDV in Canada, in January 2014, intensified the focus upon ingredients of porcine origin as a contaminant that could transform swine feed and the components of swine feed (e.g. basemix) into a fomite that might facilitate the transmission of infectious pathogens into non-positive swine herds (i.e. naïve and negative).
