A new infosheet “PED Virus and Considerations for Manure Application” is now available.
Some More Basic Points:
• PEDv lifespan is considerably shortened under aerobic conditions. Manure storages should be completely agitated before application.
• Pumping washwater back into the manure storage is recommended when manure application at that site is finished.
• Give a thorough cleaning and disinfection of equipment before moving to another farm.
• Where it is known that a site is PEDv positive, manure storages should be scheduled last to reduce the risk of transmission.
