Purchasing and/or leasing cattle

No risks

Since you are not purchasing or leasing any cattle there is no risk of BVD being introduced through this pathway.

Potential risks

You have indicated that you will be purchasing and/or leasing cattle. This could pose a risk of BVD introduction to your farm.

Which of the following measures will you have in place for minimising the risk of introducing BVD through purchased and/or leased cattle?

High risk

Since your replacement females will not be individually tested or sourced from a negative herd, there is a high risk that they will introduce BVD.

Purchasing pregnant replacement cattle carries the risk of introducing BVD through the birth of a PI fetus (Trojan Dam).

Since the dams were not vaccinated against BVD and/or sourced from a BVD negative herd, there is a high risk that one of the fetuses may be PI. 

Since your replacement females are being individually tested for BVD virus, there is a low risk that they will be PI animals.

Medim risk 

Although your replacement females have been sourced from a negative herd, there is still a moderate risk that they will introduce BVD since they have not been individually tested.

Purchasing pregnant replacement cattle carries the risk of introducing BVD through the birth of a PI fetus (Trojan Dam).

Since you are purchasing cattle that have been vaccinated against BVD before mating and sourcing cattle from herds that are known to be BVD free, this will help reduce the chances that the fetus is PI.

However, the best way to minimise the risk of BVD introductions through purchased pregnant cattle is testing the calves as soon as possible after birth.

Low risk

Since your replacement females are being individually tested for BVD virus, there is a low risk that they will be PI animals.

Purchasing pregnant replacement cattle carries the risk of introducing BVD through the birth of a PI fetus (Trojan Dam).

Since you are testing the calves from pregnant replacements as soon as possible after birth, there is a low risk that they will cause a BVD outbreak in your herd.
