“Unfortunately, the scope of PEDV seems to be getting bigger.”

That’s the word from Dr. Howard Hill of Iowa Select Farms, a veterinarian who is president-elect of the National Pork Producers Council.   Hill says that, officially, there are 103 confirmed cases of  Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus covering eight states–although he suspects the spread of the disease is even more widespread than that.  And he says additional outbreaks are still occurring.

Hill gave us an update on PEDV on Thursday morning at World Pork Expo.
