The Diagnostic Laboratory at the Veterinary College at Cornell University has offered a bovine leukosis virus (BLV) eradication/ certification program since 1985. The program has been popular with purebred breeders since its inception. Recently, many commercial dairymen have also begun participating to reduce the high incidence of clinical leukosis observed in their heavily infected herds. Eradication is achieved through a management and testing program designed to meet the needs of each farm. Over the years, experiences and observations have elucidated a number of factors that significantly affect the rate of progress and time required for a herd to become "BLV-Free."
自1985年以来,康奈尔大学兽医学院诊断实验室提供了一项牛白血病病毒(BLV)根除/认证计划。该计划自启动以来一直受到纯种饲养者的欢迎。最近,许多商业奶农也开始参与进来,以降低在其感染严重的牛群中观察到的临床白血病的高发病率。通过旨在满足每个农场需求的管理和检测计划来实现根除。多年来,经验和观察已经阐明了一些显著影响牛群达到“无BLV”状态的进展速度和所需时间的因素。
