[Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis outbreak on a mostly BHV-1 free farm can result in great damage].
In a suckler herd with 110 cows (without young stock born in 2003) 5 cows died within 10 days, 6 calves were born dead prematurely and 5 calves were born alive but prematurely. The diagnosis BHV1-infection was based on clinical symptoms and confirmed with PCR. The clinical signs, diagnostic methods, therapy, risk-analysis and prevention are discussed.
