Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVD) is a viral infection of domestic ruminants worldwide. BVD is responsible for significant economic losses due to decreased milk production, reproductive problems, treatment costs, and mortality.Cost estimates in herds with BVD range from $24 to $200 per cow per year.BVD often interacts with other disease of the respiratory and digestive tract and can affect multiple organ systems.he clinical scenario that occurs when a herd is infected with BVD depends on the level of immune protection in the herd and the strain of the infecting virus. One of the problematic aspects associated with BVD is the presence of persistently infected (PI) cattle.
