Herd level risk factors for bovine viral diarrhoea infection in cattle

This document summarizes a study on risk factors for bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) infection in cattle in Tamil Nadu, India. The objectives were to assess the current BVD status, identify associated risk factors, and develop a computer-based forecasting system. Blood samples were collected from 500 cattle across 62 farms and tested for BVD antibodies. The results found a 13.2% animal-level and 27.14% farm-level seropositivity. Identified risk factors for higher BVD infection included greater distance between farms, older animal age, larger farm size, and frequent animal purchases. A computer-based forecasting model was developed to analyze risk factors, assess infection probability, and avoid future risks.
