on transmission with trade barriers, slaughtering animals with antibodies to BHV-1, detection and eradication of further reservoirs (feedlot cattle), and then putting in place a monitoring program to maintain the control. This cost Switzerland a lot of money as they compensated producers who culled their seropositive animals. Eradication is a difficult goal for this disease, but being disease free opens barriers of trade with countries that have eradicated it as well, and saves producers money from the virus’ effects. Economic impact BoHV-1 is a source of economic loss in both the dairy, and the beef industries in Canada due to a decrease in production, a higher susceptibility to secondary infections, and the occurrences of abortions. A particularly great cost associated with BoHV-1 involves its contribution to causing BRD (shipping fever), which is estimated to cost $500 million to US feedlots annually. It is also found economically important due to its association with reproductive problems, as study in Ethiopia depicted (Begna, 2021):The prevalence of IBR/BoHV-1 antibodies based on the history of reproductive disorders were varies among those have the history and the counterparts. Analysis of data revealed significantly higher seroprevalence of IBR/BoHV-1 antibodies in animal with history of repeat breeding (45.76%), retained fetal membrane (42.5%) and stillbirth (60.86%), than animals without the problems.
