Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) suppresses a cow's immune system, making the animal susceptible to a host of other infections. That's why BVDV is one of the world's most costly bovine diseases, with losses of up to $30 per head for dairy and beef producers alike1. Stopping BVDV requires detecting and removing the infection source: persistently infected (PI) cattle that continually expose other animals to disease. Because PI cattle often look healthy, a sensitive, specific diagnostic test is essential. Mistakes can be costly: whether it's removing a valuable animal from production or allowing an infected calf to join the herd. Determining herd status is the first step towards a BVDV-free herd. IDEXX has six BVDV tests, including the USDA-licensed IDEXX BVDV Antigen Test for laboratories and the rapid IDEXX SNAP® BVD Test for veterinarians.
