Different BVD strains have different affinities for infecting organs and tissues. Also, strains vary in their ability to cause disease (virulence) or persistent infection. It is important that the right strain be chosen and be proved to be safe and provide respiratory and fetal protection. Bovi-Shield GOLD FP has proved unprecedented fetal protection. In a Type 2 fetal protection challenge study, calves were tested in utero for the virus in their fetal fluids over 7 days post-challenge.
