Bovine Viral Diarrhoea: Why a 100% Foetal Protection vaccine Matters

Welcome to our new audio article from Ceva Sounds Ruminants. The topic of today is Bovine Viral Diarrhoea: Why a 100% Foetal Protection Vaccine Matters. A content developed by Philippe Gisbert (Ruminants Global Technical Manager).Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) remains one of the most important infectious diseases affecting cattle, with major consequences for herd health, reproduction, and farm sustainability. In this episode, we explain the crucial role of persistently infected (PI) animals in maintaining the disease within herds and why preventing the birth of new PI calves is essential for successful BVD control. Through practical examples from both year-round and seasonal calving systems, we highlight why only a vaccine providing 100% foetal protection can effectively interrupt virus transmission and support long-term eradication efforts.To learn more about ruminants, visit ruminants.ceva.pro.
