Saskatchewan Swine Surveillance (PED, SDCoV, TGE)
Share:
"The Ministry of Agriculture is monitoring the environment of several high-traffic sites in Saskatchewan for Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus, Swine Deltacoronavirus and Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus. These sites are sampled weekly, and testing is done at Prairie Diagnostic Services in Saskatoon using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test developed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The Ministry also contacts Sask Pork to conduct additional surveillance testing around the province."
