Introduction
The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) epidemic in 2013 – 2014 caused high morbidity and mortality for hog farmers throughout North America. Animal feed was identified at that time as a risk factor and one of the potential vehicles to spread the viral disease. Feed Energy’s R2 line of products delivers essential nutrients to the animal through the feed source and has proven to mitigate the risk of pathogens in the feed. Our field trials proved R2 was effective in helping to mitigate several pathogens in the feed source including; E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria and Clostridium.
