USDA to Provide Funding to Fight PEDV

2014-06-10 02:27:00| National Hog Farmer

USDA announced it was dedicating $26.2 million in funding to combat porcine epidemic diarrhea firus (PEDV) and Swine Delta Coronavirus. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said, In the last year, industry has estimated PEDV has killed some 7 million piglets and caused tremendous hardship for many American pork producers. The number of market-ready hogs this summer could fall by more than 10 percent relative to 2013 because of PEDV. Together with industry and our state partners, the steps we will take through the Federal Order will strengthen the response to PEDV and these other viruses and help us lessen the impact to producers. read more
