Killer pig virus hits Ohio hog farmers hard
A killer virus that affects baby pigs appears to have hit Ohio hog farmers harder than any other state this winter. Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, or PED, doesn’t affect the safety of pork and isn’t a human health concern, but according to figures released at the end of March, many of the state’s hog farmers suffered economically and could continue to suffer again next winter if a cure isn’t found.
