This study determined the prevalence of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) in diarrheic pigs in selected commercial farms in the province of Cavite and correlated the risk factors that may have contributed to the disease. A total of one hundred ninety-two (192) diarrheic pigs were sampled from 21 farms within the province of Cavite. Only diarrheic pigs on the day or 21 days prior to collection were included in the study. The identified animal raiser was interviewed using a structured questionnaire to determine the probable risk factors associated with the prevalence of PED. The fecal samples were processed using a commercially available kit, ANDALI® PED RT-LAMP test kit. Only six fecal samples tested positive for PED with an overall prevalence of three percent (3%). The highest prevalence rate per farm was recorded in a farm in Alfonso with 19%, followed by Naic with 10%, then Dasmariñas City and Maragondon with six percent (6%). Possible risk factors were determined and discussed in relation to current and related literature. The risk factors with a p-value less than 0.05 were the following (a) use of hospital pens (0.003) and (b) routine cross-fostering (0.03). However, due to a small positive sample size obtained there is a wide estimate of the confidence interval that could have led to a lot of potential error, therefore the other risk factors were statistically not significant. This study confirmed the presence of PED in the commercial swine farms examined in Cavite, which to the best of our knowledge is the first study of its kind in the province.
