A virologic survey was conducted on calves with diarrhea associated with bovine rotavirus (BRV) on a closed dairy farm. The BRV was detected from 32 of 219 (14.6%) fecal specimens repeatedly collected from 56 calves born during the years 1992-1993, regardless of whether they had diarrhea. Most of the 32 strains were isolated from fecal specimens obtained from 2-to 6-week-old calves. After electrophoresis of doublestranded viral RNA from the 32 strains, genomic RNA migration patterns were similar to those of the predominant BRV strains isolated at the same farm during the years 1990-1991. All representative strains were identified as G serotype 6 (G6) and P type 5 (P5) by results of the virus-neutralization test and polymerase chain reaction procedure. Thus, BRV had no change in genomic RNA electropherotypes and serologic antigenicities in a closed dairy herd over a period of several years.
