USDA Announces
Mention calf scours to a cat
tleman, and he can feel a knot in
his stomach and a hole in his
pocketbook. Even with present
vaccines and antibiotics, cat
tlemen lose an estimated 10
percent of their calf crop each
year. Bovine viral diarrhea
(BVD) is a major cause of such
losses.
Vaccines now used for BVD are
into your cattle feeding program.

made from weakened live
viruses, which may cause severe
post-vaccmal reactions, abor
tions in cows, and infertility in
bulls. These vaccines are meant
primarily for calves from 6 to 9
months of age, but are used
extensively on younger calves. In
very young animals, these
vaccines can be hazardous and
may even cause a mild clinical
BVD infection

New BVD Vaccine
the National Animal Disease
Laboratory, Ames, lowa, have
developed a promising new BVD
vaccine which could eliminate
most of the problems associated
with the present vaccines
Bovine viral diarrhea is one of
the major economic problems of
the cattle industry. An estimated
4 million calves die from this and
related enteric diseases each
year
BVD is most serious in young
calves Affected animals have

However, even calves which
survive are weakened and
susceptible to other infections
Recovered cattle also suffer a
setback and rarely reach their
full potential BVD is also
especially troublesome in cattle
under crowded conditions, such
as in feedlots
In cows. BVD ma> cause a
drastic reduction in milk
production and abortion in
pregnant animals In bulls in
fertility may result
The experimental vaccine is
made Irom a strain of inactivated
BVD \ irus This vaccine will still
produce an immune response in
cattle without the risk of
spreading live virus to suscep
tible cattle
In tests at the laboratory, the
vaccine was evaluated lor salety
and potency in 75 calves and
cattle ol all ages There were i o
postvaccinal reactions
Moreover, the vaccine’s safety
was confirmed by the absence ol
any clinical or serologic signs ol
disease in the nonvaccinaled
susceptible calves betore ex
posure to virulent BVD virus
Alter exposure a high level ol
protection was demolishated in
the vaccinated calves The
nonvaccinaled control calv es had
diarrhea, lever, and loss ol ap

The vaccine proved sate
highly effective and versatile—it
could be used on cattle ol all ages
and sexes—and even on pregnant
cows Field tests and extensive
evaluation plus approval by
USDA’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service are necessary
before the vaccine can be made
available to industry
