Applications open for BVDzero Case Awards 2020
The BVDzero Case Awards aim to encourage the search for clinical and subclinical cases of BVD in cattle.

Boehringer Ingelheim will award €15,000 to the top 10 clinical cases

Applications are now open for the 2020 ‘BVDzero Case Awards’, organised by leading animal health firm Boehringer Ingelheim. 


The BVDzero Case Awards aim to encourage the search for clinical and subclinical cases of Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) in cattle herds. Boehringer Ingelheim said it believes this will both increase awareness of BVD and help to reduce its prevalence.

Steve Williams, head of global ruminants at Boehringer Ingelheim, explains: “Bovine Viral Diarrhoea is one of the most common diseases in cattle, causing harm to the affected animals and huge economic damage to the livestock industry. We aim to challenge the status quo and bring a paradigm shift in the control of BVD globally.”

The awards are open to any member of the cattle industry with areas of expertise including, but not limited to, veterinary practice, animal science, research, production veterinary medicine, cattle production, diagnostics and animal health & welfare.


The awards ceremony will take place at the BVDzero press conference in May 2020. Winners will be selected by a panel of experts in the field of bovine health, with the top 10 clinical cases receiving a total prize of €15,000.

For more information and to apply for the awards, visit the BVDzero website.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
