Ukraine: Multiple PED Outbreaks Likely to Impact Pork Production

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Since the beginning of 2014, there have been multiple outbreaks of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) reported on commercial-scale farms in Ukraine. Insufficient attention paid to the outbreak by the industry and authorities may result in further spread of the virus which could have a significant adverse impact on pork production in 2014-15. Moreover, it may also result in further spread of the virus to neighboring countries, such as Poland, causing a major production decrease in 2015.
