Country: Netherlands

Summary:

In this study, the seroprevalence against bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and Border disease virus (BDV) in two categories of swine, sows and finishing pigs was determined. In sows, the seroprevalence against BVDV was 2.5% on the animal level, and 11.0% on herd level. In finishing pigs these prevalences were 0.42% and 3.2%, respectively. Antibodies against BDV were found in three sows only.
