Abstract: ILAGAN, MELVIN JOSEPH H., Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED), in Diarrheic and Non-Diarrheic Pigs from Selected Commercial Farms in the Province of Batangas. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. December 2018. Adviser: Cherry Alvarez, DVM, MS. The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Porcine Epidemic 'Diarrhea (PED) in non-diarrheic and diarrheic pigs from the selected commercial 'arms of 20 municipalities in the province of Batangas, to identify and correlate the corresponding risk factors, and to develop a spot map of the distribution of PED the 7.cmmercial farms in the province of Batangas. Systematic random sampling was sad in selecting the Eighty (80) commercial farms from which and one-hundred sixty (160) diarrheic and one-hundred sixty (160) non-diarrheic pigs came from. Farm owners were interviewed using a structured questionnaire to determine the probable risk factors associated with PED. Fecal samples were collected using a sterile cotton swab and were tested using a commercially available PED Reverse Transcription-Loop Mediated isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) test kit. Results revealed a prevalence rate of 0.3% or one (1) out of Three-Hundred Twenty (320) samples testing positive to PED. Low prevalence rate in the province signifies an efficient and effective implementation of strict biosecurity by the commercial farms. Further testing of positive samples using quantitative PCR was recommended to confirm the test result. Utilization of indirect ELISA in detecting the presence of PED within the herd is so recommended to expand the scope of the study in the study of the whole operation of PED.
