Costs covered by Ontario Pork:
For those enrolled in an Area Regional Control and Elimination Program (ARC&E), coverage of these expenses will be handled through OSHAB. For those farms not participating in an ARC&E program, Ontario Pork will cover the expenses to ensure support is available for all farms affected by PEDv. This program will begin immediately and will continue until further notice. Producers can submit invoices to Ontario Pork or through their local ARC&E program.
If there are any questions on eligibility and process for this program please contact Dean Gurney at Ontario Pork.
