African Swine Fever (ASF): Raising awareness for small scale producers and pet pig owners
The ASF virus hasn’t yet been reported in Canada, but given the high mortality rates for pigs, awareness and prevention at all scales is critical. That’s why the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) partnered with our team at ACER to develop a suite of informational resources for pet pig owners and small-scale producers. Check out one example of a pet pig owner infographic below, and visit the OVMA website to access additional resources!
