摘要: Abstract A program has been initiated in Sweden to eradicate bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infections dairy and beef cattle. As the first step, all herds were screened order identify those with BLV-infected animals. The objective of this study was ascertain possible relationships between herd BLV infection status measures describing disease incidence, reproduction production. determined 14 424 herds, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test applied bulk-milk samples. Relationships assessed logistic ordinary linear regression analyses. There many statistically significant associations production, but most low magnitude. risk for diseases infectious etiology seemed be greater among while non-infectious did not differ. culling rate higher milk production lower vs. BLV-free herds. effect on fertility only minor.
