Abstract

On account of the economic importance of the BVD-MD syndrome in cattle significant studies were performed concerning sanitary and medical prophylaxis. As far as medical prophylaxis is concerned, attenuated live and inactivated virus vaccines have been used in cattle [1] [4]. The safety of attenuated life vaccines has been considered doubtful more particularly in reproductive females. The efficacy of inactivated vaccines depends on the nature of the strains used and of the adjuvant [3) [4]. The results obtained with an inactivated vaccine in oil adjuvant so as to prevent the infection in breeding animals are presented by the authors.
