Warning issued about TGE virus among hog producers
Iowa State University extension veterinarian Dr. James D. McKean warns of a high incidence of transmissible gastroenteritis in Iowa hogs this winter. The disease hits pigs of all ages, with near 100 percent mortality in very young piglets, and can persist in cold weather. He advises vaccination for sows, strict biosecurity, and careful disposal of dead animals to prevent spread.
