Abstract

In 2007, the Michigan Upper Peninsula BVDV Eradication Program was launched. The purpose of this project is to eradicate BVDV from a geographic area and, in doing so, identify benefits and obstacles of a BVDV eradication program and demonstrate a feasible model that may be adopted by other parts of the US. The purpose of the current report is to present initial findings from the eradication program in the four counties that compose the western one-third of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
