New Advance study reveals hidden losses to BVD in milking herds

Abstract

Discussing BVD with clients in terms of milk losses and economic impact is not always easy. The new Advance study aimed to contextualise losses related to unseen BVD in a milking herd, which is often one of the most difficult conversations to have with clients who believe that testing and screening alone will suffice. A milk loss and potential additional income calculator has been developed with the data from the study.
