    Interval from calving to conception in relation to percentage inhibition of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) antibody (% inhibition, %INH) in bulk tank milk (estimated values with polynomial trendline) adjusted for herd size, region, and breed composition (518 randomly selected herds).

  • Image Result
    Herd average production (dots + polynomial trend line) of solids-adjusted milk (kg/d) of 522 dairy herds by increasing (BVDV) antibody (% inhibition, %INH) in bulk tank milk.

    Herd average production (dots + polynomial trend line) of solids-adjusted milk (kg/d) of 522 dairy herds by increasing (BVDV) antibody (% inhibition, %INH) in bulk tank milk.

  • Image Result
    Cumulative distribution (line) and 90% credible interval of 10,000 simulations (box) of the estimated annual loss of an affected herd (251 cows) due to high exposure to BVDV.
