Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDv) – A Real Life Story Part 1
The week we start a 3 part series on BVDv and the impact on a local cattle herd. Part of the shipping fever pneumonia complex, this disease is wide reaching and impacts to the US cattle herd are significant. Think this doesn’t apply to you? Think again…this disease eludes producers with Persistently Infected (PI) animals. Often, these PI animals don’t show symptoms of the infection and can infect whole herds.
