Most herds fully participating in the CHeCS BVD programmes meet the testing requirements and so if you are testing for BVD as part of your health scheme membership you should not need to do anything extra, other than uploading test results, but check with your vet. BVDFree will recognize and show your CHeCS accredited BVD status. BVDFree aims to build on the core of herds which are part of a health scheme and have a CHeCS BVD accredited status and help to reduce the risk of breakdown in those herds by reducing the BVD infection pressure in England. By joining BVDFree you will show you have played your part in helping to make the cattle herd in England free of BVD virus.
