How PEDv has affected US pig prices
It might be a somewhat of a strange remark to make, but in the outbreak of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea virus (PEDv) in the United States has of course cause major economic loses but there is also an upside.
Of course, the virus which first entered the US pig herd in spring 2013, has been causing major economic losses for many producers by killing millions of piglets – and possibly causing even more fear of infection among the remaining producers.
Flipside of PEDv: Low pork supply means higher prices
However, oddly enough, there is also a flipside to all this doom and gloom, that is for those producers who managed to stay in business, pocketed a very healthy profit on the back of this virus this summer.
