Canada - Economic impacts of Porcine Circovirus Associated Disease

This disease is costing the Canadian pork industry about 60 million dollars a year.

The most significant impacts would be on the finishing operations, just the nature of the disease and the nature of the industrial organization.
In terms of geographically, it hit Quebec probably hardest and first and so therefor the majority, 40 percent of the impacts were in the province of Quebec. Then as it rolled out across the country they developed a vaccine as of 2006, the end of 2006, so obviously as that vaccine came into play the impact of the disease dropped.
