Sažetak
We determined the prevalence of antibodies to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus in sera of dairy cows on 4 different farms in the Republic of Croatia. A high percentage (60,8%) of cows had various reproductive disorders. The results showed that seroprevalence of infectious bovine rhinotraheitis (IBR) was 85,8% and that of bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) was 79,2% in tested cows. Antibodies to both viruses were found in 80,8% of cows with reproductive disorders but in only 46,7%of cows without reproductive disorders. This difference was statistically significant (P<0.01), and indicated a connection between reproductive disorders and simultaneous infections with IBR and BVD viruses in dairy cows.
