Bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVD) control programs focus on identifying and removing persistently infected (PI) animals. Strategies vary based on national cattle density and BVD prevalence, aiming for eradication or minimized economic impact.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Virology
  • Epidemiology
  • Animal Health Economics

Context:

  • Bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVD) is widespread in the EU, causing significant economic losses.
  • Control programs are increasingly implemented, with varying degrees of compulsion.
  • Identifying and removing persistently infected (PI) animals is crucial for BVD control.

Purpose:

  • To analyze different national strategies for controlling Bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVD).
  • To compare the effectiveness of eradication versus economic mitigation approaches.
  • To highlight the importance of PI animal identification in BVD control.

Summary:

  • Sweden's successful BVD control program, initiated in 1993, involved bulk milk ELISA screening and PI animal removal in a low-density, non-vaccination setting.

  • Germany's approach, due to high BVD prevalence and cattle density, focuses on minimizing economic damage through PI animal eradication and systematic vaccination of female offspring.
  • Both strategies aim to achieve BVD-free herds, with Sweden targeting certified freedom and Germany aiming for BVD-unsuspicious herds with high immunity.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comparative analysis of BVD control strategies applicable to diverse European contexts.
    • Informs policy decisions regarding BVD management, considering economic factors and epidemiological situations.
    • Contributes to the understanding of successful BVD eradication and control measures in livestock populations.
