New model to predict BVDV spread in beef cow-calf herds

BioEpAR has developed a new model to predict BVDV spread in beef cow-calf herds.

This model is usefull to evaluate the impact of BVD on herd productivity. It predicts the highest losses to occur during the acute phase, i.e. the first 3 years after virus introduction in a BVD-free herd. However, cumulative losses over 10 years of endemic herd infection surpassed cumulative losses during the 3 years of the acute phase.
