Alberta Pork says a second case of porcine epidemic diarrhea has turned up in the province. The producer group says the new case is at a 600-head farrow-to-finish operation, but it doesn't say where. The first PED case in Alberta was detected last month at a 400-head farm in central Alberta. In January, a Camrose-based veterinarian specializing in swine health said that PED is a serious threat to Alberta's pork industry. The first Canadian case was confirmed in January 2014 on a swine farm in Ontario and has since been reported in Manitoba, Quebec and Prince Edward Island.
