CANADA - The Chair of the Saskatchewan Pork Development Board is encouraging pork producers in Saskatchewan to maintain their focus on biosecurity in response to a new wave of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea infections in southeastern Manitoba, writes Bruce Cochrane.Since 30 April nine swine operations in southeastern Manitoba, including six within a five kilometer area and three outside that zone, have been confirmed infected by Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea.Florian Possberg, the Chair of the Saskatchewan Pork Development Board, says for some operations PED is a million dollar disease hit, it's an animal welfare issue and it's a stress on workers in affected barns.
布鲁斯·科克伦(Bruce Cochrane)写道,为了应对曼尼托巴省东南部新一轮的猪流行性腹泻感染,加拿大萨斯喀彻温省养猪发展委员会主席鼓励本省的猪肉生产商,要把重心持续的放在生物安全性上。自4月30日起,曼尼托巴省东南部有九家养猪场,被确诊感染猪流行性腹泻。其中被感染的六家养猪场在方圆五公里的范围内,还有三家养猪场在区域外围。加拿大萨斯喀彻温省养猪发展委员会主席Florian Possberg说:“对于某些养猪场来说,此次猪流行性腹泻造成了百万美元的损失,它不仅是一个动物福利问题,它同时也让被感染养猪场的员工受到打击。”
