What Does BVD Stand For?
BVD stands for Bovine Viral Diarrhea
BVD, or Bovine Viral Diarrhea, is a viral infection affecting cattle that can lead to significant economic losses in the livestock industry. It is caused by the Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), which impacts the immune system and can result in various clinical symptoms, including diarrhea, respiratory issues, and reproductive failures. The disease can spread through direct contact or contaminated environments, making management and prevention crucial for herd health. Vaccination and biosecurity measures are commonly employed to control the spread of BVD in cattle populations.
