Manitoba Pork is still dealing with its longest-running and largest Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea outbreak ever. According to Manitoba Pork General Manager Cam Dahl, the outbreak has now spanned 33 weeks.
It hasn't broken yet unfortunately, we're at 105 cases, so we're getting significantly over some of those numbers that we saw in past outbreaks. It continued through the winter, that hasn't happened before and we're continuing to see new cases almost every week.
He also talked about squealonpigsmb.org, which the province started this year to try and stop the spread of feral pigs before it gets out of hand.
I'm really pleased, it's something that has grabbed Manitoba's imagination a little bit. We're getting reports in every week now and I think last week we had reports of ten sightings that had come in through the website.
