An outbreak of Streptococcus equi zooepidemicus on a 5,000-sow operation in western Canada killed 69 sows in seven days in the third quarter of 2022. Because the signs mimicked African swine fever, samples were sent for ASF rule-out testing, which confirmed the cause was not ASF.
The outbreak was localized and not ASF, so it has little effect on hog supply or feed demand. The story mainly highlights the importance of testing protocols for disease surveillance.
