A veterinarian was called in to investigate the cause of abortion in a group of 60 well-managed 2-year-old brangus heifers. Four heifers aborted before the investigation was initiated. The herd is closed with a reportedly good biosecurity program and good nutrition. All of the animals are well-vaccinated. A fresh mid-term female fetus and fetal tissues…
Detection of 4 pathogens known to infect bovine; includes bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), bovine leukemia virus (BLV), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/bovine herpesvirus-1 (IBR/ BHV-1), and bluetongue virus (BTV), all by real time PCR. Testing for this combination of pathogens is often useful in fulfilling certain export requirements.
