Manitoba Agriculture is reporting that three more cases of PED have been confirmed in southeast Manitoba.

These latest cases bring the total number discovered in May to nine.

Two of the cases were at sow operations (May 26 & 29), while the other was at a finisher farm (May 26).

All three cases were outside of the original 5 kilometre buffer area.

There have now been 19 on-farm cases of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv) confirmed in the province since 2014.

Nine of the 19 premises are now determined to be PEDv presumptive negative.

Manitoba Pork is encouraging all producers to participate in an important teleconference being held on Friday, June 2 at 10am.
