1989

Heifers were inoculated IV with 1 of 4 modified-live bovine herpesvirus-1 vaccinal strains against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (2 heifers/strain) on postbreeding day (PBD) 14. The effect of infection on fertility was monitored by plasma progesterone assay at 1- to 3-day intervals from the time of virus exposure until PBD 60. Infertility was detected in 4 of 8 inoculated heifers. In 2 heifers, progestrone concentrations decreased to values indicative of estrus within 10 days after inoculation (PBD 24). The 2 other heifers had evidence of embryonic death on PBD 40 and 42. Two control heifers inoculated with culture medium from noninfected cells maintained their pregnancies.
