Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD)

Abstract

The bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a widespread problem for beef and dairy herds. BVDV can readily cross into other species, such as sheep, goats, deer, antelope and bison. However, I will confine my remarks to BVDV in cattle. I will further shorten the discussion by referring to the virus and the disease(s) it causes as bovine viral diarrhea (BVD).
