Slide1

Michigan’s Upper PeninsulaBovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Eradication Project Slide2

Lake Superior

Wisconsin

Lake MichiganSlide3

Michigan’s Upper PeninsulaMixture of approximately13,000 dairy cows – 100 farms10,000 beef cows – estimate 700+ farms

Spread over 15 counties in “pockets” of ag.

The UP is about 350 miles W to E 150 miles N to S Slide4

An OverviewWho’s involvedWhat are the desired outcomesHow is it going to be accomplished

Preliminary resultsPreliminary observationsSlide5

Who’s Involved?UP Beef and Dairy Producers

UP Livestock Industry Services

Veterinarians, MDA, USDA

Michigan State University

College of Veterinary Medicine

MSU Extension

Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health

Pfizer Animal HealthSlide6

Who’s Involved..Infra-structure support personal

Producer ID and Educational Activities

producer lists management, mailing letters,

Sample Shipping and Handling

Extension offices & local veterinary clinics

Laboratory Data Handling

Data managementPeer Influence of Producers

Critical motivational considerationSlide7

Desired Outcomes

To Develop & Demonstrate aVoluntary & Regional

BVDV Eradication/Control Model

In the USA

Slide8

“In the USA”Other counties have “mandated” programsOther states have voluntary control programs

This is an “eradication/control” effortSlide9

“Eradication/ Control Model”We want the “model” to be repeatable or at leastHave re-useable concepts

The model will be scientifically defendable and

Balanced with user – friendliness (value)Slide10

Voluntary and RegionalProgram is Voluntary but we want 100%

of cattle operations to participateUP has many small and youth “herds”Is (1) 4-H steer a “herd”?

Program is for

Entire Region

Not just a regional effortSlide11

To Develop and DemonstrateHow do you ID cattle herds?How do you carry out testing?

producer ear notching vs veterinary samplingHow do you keep tract of test results?

What happens after herd “tested negative”

How to verify that what you did, worked?

How to take theory into reality? Slide12

The program in Year 1Program roll out and educationUse of meetings & monthly newsletterDivide UP in to 3 regions for 3 years

Western – Eastern – Central Plus “volunteer” herds“Sign up” at central locations

Contact individual producersSlide13

Communication is Critical! What is going to happen

Who is doing whatWhat are the benefitsWhat are the costsWhat happened

And repeat….Slide14

BVDV EducationSlide15

Year 1 .. continuedUP region wide UP State Fair required all cattle to BVD-PI test negativePurebred beef sale required BVD-PI testPlanning for Year 2

Eastern UP Sign upSurvey system to validate herds are negative

Verification of survey systemSlide16

Year One - Results

Year 1

Focus on Western UP

Approx. 98 herds

67 Beef & 11 Dairy

= 80% sign up

Plus Volunteer Herds

65 Beef & 25 DairySlide17

Testing ResultsPositive Farms 4 (2.86%)Number of PI’s 8 (0.13%)

2 farms with 1 PI1 farm with 2 PIs 1 farm with 4 PIs

-All PIs were calves - 1 to 4 months

-All calves put down - No

indemnity

- 2 deer were

sero-positiveSlide19

Preliminary Observations“Eradication/Control” is as much about people as it is about diseaseCommunication is

HUGEPivotal in Voluntary ProgramImportant anytime / all the timeSlide20

Observation“Eradication/Control” will take:TimeEffort

A PlanFlexibilitySlide21

Observation“Eradication/Control” isTesting herd negative+ Bio-security (PI test

& isolate)+ Appropriate & PROPERLY DONE vaccination program

And a Monitoring ProgramSlide22

Unintended ConsequencesBVD with PI’s is a great disease for teaching bio-security

We have identified a great gap between

a herd being “vaccinated” and

an appropriate and properly applied “vaccination program”

Producers becoming very well versed in practical disease management Slide23

In ConclusionThank you Pfizer & MSU for supportThank you to UP cattle producers

Patience & Participation

Thank you to You- for opportunity to share programSlide24

Progress

Program started December 2007Slide27

Year 2 (2008/9)

Focus on North East UP

Year 3 (2009/10)

Focus on Central UPSlide28

Industry Impacts

Tremendous ExcitementIndustry Cooperation

BVDV Free Livestock Exhibits

Marketing of BVDV Free Cattle

New Appreciation For

Biosecurity

New Focus Comprehensive Disease ControlSlide29
