Get familiar with the letters PEDV. Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus. This disease is breaking, effecting several swine herds in Iowa and surrounding states. There is no good treatment or cure for this virus and it is spreading very rapidly. Sow farms are currently experiencing 80-100% piglet mortality. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks for this virus to run its’ course through a farm. If it continues to spread we could see large gap in the pork supply six months down the road.
