title: [Economic consequences of an infection with the bovine diarrhea virus (BVD virus) in 15 dairy farms].
abstract: In outbreaks of disease with the bovine virus diarrhoea virus (BVD virus), the economic loss to fourteen dairy farms was determined on the basis of the amount of loss per dairy cow. The patients included cases of abortion, stillbirths, delivery of calves showing lesions, lesions of the feet, mucosal disease and animals persistently infected with BVD virus. BVD virus was isolated from several cases of disease on all farms. It was not possible, however, directly to examine all individuals for the presence of the virus. The amount of loss caused by BVD virus was Dfl. 136,- per average dairy cow. The amount varied between individual farms from Dfl. 42,- to Dfl. 285,- per dairy cow.
