Get the Facts on Seneca Valley Virus
2015-09-09 19:52:00| National Hog Farmer
In the past several weeks, cases of Senecavirus A (Seneca Valley Virus) have been reported in multiple commercial herds in California, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey and North Carolina. Seneca Valley Virus (SVV) is not a limited production disease but its symptoms are similar to foot-and-mouth disease, swine vesicular disease, vesicular stomatitis and vesicular exanthema. So, hog farmers finding lesions on the snout and coronary band/hoof lesions on sows, nursery pigs or finishing pigs should immediately consult their herd veterinarian.
