Re-infection Risk

Of herds with BVD+ calves, 24% have BVD+ births again the following year due to environmental contamination. Virus shedding is massive and persists for weeks.

5-Step Cleaning & Disinfection Protocol

Critical for calving areas, calf sheds, and feeding equipment.

Step 1
Protect Yourself
Wear gloves, masks, and waterproof aprons to reduce pathogen exposure.
Step 2
Dry Cleaning
Remove all visible debris, manure, and organic material (walls, floors, crevices).
Step 3
Wet Wash
High-pressure wash with detergent to remove fats/grease pre-disinfection.
Step 4
Disinfection
Use DAFM approved disinfectant. Contact time is critical for virus elimination.
Step 5
Drying
Rinse and let dry completely. Leave pens empty for a period before restocking.
