AHI urges farmers to act fast on BVD this spring

'Tag. Bag. Test. Remove' has become Animal Health Ireland's motto this spring to move Ireland towards bovine viral diarrhoea eradication

There were about 200 herds with BVD in the country in 2025.

With the busy spring calving period beginning, Animal Health Ireland (AHI) has asked farmers to act fast when it comes to BVD tagging.

AHI is urging farmers and the wider agri-industry to work together to “finish the job” on bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) eradication.
