Abstract

Fetal protection in heifers vaccinated with a modified-live vaccine (Express® FPS, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica) was evaluated following sequential, prolonged field exposures to animals persistently infected (PI) with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and animals acutely infected with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1).
