Abstract

Type II BVD continues to be a concern for cattle producers. Type I MLV BVD vaccines reportedly provide adequate protection against disease caused by Type II BVD. However, MLV vaccines cannot be used in all management situations. This study was designed to test the efficacy of an experimental killed Type II BVD vaccine. In addition, the study compared results with efficacy of modified live and killed Type I BVD vaccines, as well as with efficacy of a killed Type II/MLV Type I combination.
