Key things to remember about BVDV and persistent infection(PI)
A PI calf is born infected and remains infected for life, shedding virus at a tremendous rate. A single PI calf can rapidly spread infection throughout a herd. Fortunately, BVDV testing can protect your operation from the effects of BVDV: reduced conception rates, abortions, stillborn calves, calves that die early, bovine respirator disease (BRD) and lower weaning weights. Additionally, stockers and backgrounders experience elevated levels of BRD, higher morbidity and mortality, reduced daily gain and reduced feed efficiency.
BVDV testing is easy, fast and cost-effective
Since many PI calves look normal, testing is the only way to identify them. You can easily test for BVDV using simple ear notches or blood samples. With testing, vaccination and management, you can be confident you’re not spreading BVDV within your herd… or passing it on to another operation. Thanks for letting us help you protect your cattle from BVDV.
