Abstract

Sixty-five samples of bulk tank milk were obtained from the largest milk processor in Kerman. All the samples were tested by a commercially indirect ELISA for the detection of anti-bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) antibodies. On the basis of serological results, dairy farms were assigned in four classes (0, 1, 2, and 3). Among these, 38 farms (58.46%) had a moderate to high level of antibody (2 or 3 classes) indicating that there was a possible BVDV infection, or they had recently been infected with BVDV. This is the first study on seroprevalence of BVDV in Kerman dairy farms which shows that the BVDV infection is wide in industrial dairy cattle herds in Kerman.
