“…Since some of these PI animals may be in utero at the time of the initial herd screen, such testing may be spread over an extended period, particularly where PI cattle are detected. This approach has been used successfully in Nordic countries and elsewhere in Europe (Synge and others 1999, Rossmanith and others 2010), although typically it has taken 10 years to reach the final stages of national eradication (Lindberg and others 2006). …”

Development and review of the voluntary phase of a national BVD eradication programme in Ireland

et al. 2014

The voluntary phase of an industry-led national Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) eradication programme began in Ireland on January 1, 2012 with the goal of progressing to a compulsory programme in 2013. The development and implementation of the programme in 2012 was informed by a review of current and prior eradication programmes elsewhere in Europe and extensive stakeholder consultation. The programme was based on tissue tag testing of newborn calves in participating herds, with the status of the mothers of calves with positive or inconclusive results requiring clarification. Participating herd owners were required to comply with a series of guidelines, including not selling cattle suspected of being persistently infected. For herds compliant with the guidelines, the results from 2012 counted as one of three years of tag testing anticipated in the compulsory phase of the programme. Testing was carried out in laboratories designated for this purpose by the cross-industry BVD Implementation Group that oversees the programme. Results were reported to a central database managed by the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation, and the majority of results were reported to farmers' mobile telephones by SMS message. A detailed review of the programme was conducted, encompassing the period between January 1, 2012 and July 15, 2012, based on results from approximately 500,000 calves. This paper describes the establishment and structure of the programme, and the outcomes of the review, including findings at herd and animal level.

“…The program became compulsory in 2004 and extended to the entire country. In 2008 92% of all herds in Lower-Austria were certified as free from BVDV (Rossmanith et al, 2010).…”

“…Bulk milk testing by antibody ELISA can be used to estimate seroprevalence in the herd [13,58]. In France, three consecutive bulk milk antibody tests at 4 month intervals were used to classify as either infected (for follow-up testing for the presence of PI animals) or uninfected herds (clear of the virus) [35], while a single bulk milk antibody ELISA result was used to decide the need (or not) for further herd testing in Norway [77], Finland [62] and Lower Austria [63]. In non-milking (e.g., beef) herds, a serological ''spot test''-testing of a representative sample of animals-has been used as an alternative to bulk milk testing [47], with a high number of positive individuals, or a strong reaction to a pooled blood sample indicating a positive herd.…”

“…In the Shetland Islands, full herd serology was carried out, with a single antibody positive animal resulting in a positive herd-level classification [72]. In some programs, where a herd returned a high herdlevel antibody result, antibody testing of samples from young stock (e.g., blood from weaned calves or milk from primiparous cows) was used to determine whether the infection was historic or recent, with antibodies in young cattle indicating recent infection [15,47,63,77].…”

Understanding the Impact and Control of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea in Cattle Populations

Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) affects cattle populations around the world, with significant financial consequences. The losses associated with BVD stem from reproductive loss (in acutely infected cattle), poor productivity of immunotolerant, persistently infected cattle, and indirect losses due to increased occurrence of other diseases because of BVD-related immunosuppression. Control or eradication of BVD is a valuable strategy to reduce losses and ease animal suffering and appears economically justified in the many programs active around the world. This review briefly outlines the epidemiology of BVD and explores the financial implications of infection and the measures that can be taken to reduce them, with an emphasis on the role of diagnostic tests in control programs.
