FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Animal health company Zoetis has received conditional approval from federal regulators for a vaccine that helps fight a virus that has killed millions of piglets since it started showing up in the United States last year.
The Florham Park, New Jersey, company said Wednesday that its vaccine for the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus should be available to veterinarians and pig farmers this month. The vaccine is designed to be injected into pregnant female pigs to help them develop antibodies that can then be passed on to their piglets.
