7 Infertility in heifers inoculated with modified-live bovine herpesvirus-1 vaccinal strains against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis on postbreeding day 14 J.M. Miller, DVM PhD; M.J. Van Der Maaten, DVMm PhD: C.A. Whetstone, Ph D Am J. Vet Res, Vol 50, No. 4, April 1989
8 Materials and Methods Inocula Four BHV-1 strains-originated from a repository of expired MLV-1 vaccines against IBR Heifers 10 originated from a herd with no history of vaccination for IBR Mated to a seronegative bull by natural service Experimental Design On postbreeding day (PBD) 14 2 heifers inoculated IV with 5 ml of 1 of 4 strains of BHV-1 (total of 8 heifers) Controls-2 heifers inoculated IV with 5 ml of noninfected cell culture Serurm was obtained prior to inoculation to check SN titers Blood was collected for plasma progesterone at 1 to 3 day intervals beginning on day of inoculation and continued till PBD 60
9 Results BHV-1 was isolated from at least 1 nasal, vaginal swab, and blood sample from each of the 8 heifers inoculated with a BHV-1 vaccinal strain Plasma progesterone tests indicated Control heifers remained pregnant 2 months post breeding 4 of 8 inoculated heifers remained pregnant 2 months post breeding Pregnancy failure was observed in 4 heifers Conclusion MLV BHV-1 vaccine may result in loss of pregnancy

11 Case History 55 healthy excellently managed, confirmed pregnant Angus-cross heifers from the University of Wyoming herd vaccinated at 7-8 months of gestation Vaccinated with MLV in May 2010 prebreeding
12 Observations Abortions 32 days post vaccination Diagnostics conducted on six of seven aborted fetuses and one heifer that died Six heifers confirmed pregnant by ultrasound on vaccination found open at calving Lossed 14 pregnancies
13 Conclusion Diagnostic tests found numerous expressions of IBR symptoms and BoHV-1 antigens present in aborted fetuses NO BVDV was detected in aborted fetuses Abortions and pregnancy losses among the heifers in this study were observed following the use of a BoHV-1 MLV vaccine

28 First Service Conception Rates Following Vaccination with Express FP 5 C. Jones, K. Haden, D. Robbins BIVI Tech Bulletin R-1
29 Effect of Vaccination on First Service Conception Rates Study conducted in a commercial cow/calf operation that was on a routine MLV vaccination program.
30 Rationale for Study First Service Conception Rates Following Vaccination with Breed-Back FP 5 (Express FP 5) Vaccine Previous studies Vaccination of sero-negative cows with MLV vaccine just prior to breeding, may reduce fertility This has impacted pre-breeding vaccination practices in beef and dairy cows.
31 Background Modified live IBR and BVD are commonly used to vaccinate cows prior to breeding An immune response is stimulated following replication of the modified live viruses There is a concern that the replicating viruses may invade the ovary, interfere with ovarian function, and result in infertility
32 Background (continued) Grooms DL, et al. J Vet Diagn Invest 1998; 10: Isolated BVD virus from ovaries of sero-negative heifers on day 12 following vaccination with MLV Showed presence of BVD antigen in the ovaries of seronegative cows 30 days post-vaccination with MLV Chiang BC, et al. Theriogeniology 1990; 33: Reduction in conception rate when sero-negative heifers were vaccinated with a modified live IBR just prior to turning with bulls.
33 Objective To evaluate if Express FP 5 administered 10 days prior to breeding will reduce first service conception rates and overall pregnancy rates in cows that had been vaccinated with a modified live IBR and BVD vaccine prior to previous breeding seasons.
34 Protocol 191 cows were sorted into two groups based on age and days post-calving All cows were 2 years of age All cows had received at least two MLV vaccines as heifers and had been vaccinated with MLV vaccine prior to each of the previous breeding seasons All were synchronized with the 7-11 Synch program and were time bred 60 hours following the second prostaglandin injection
35 Treatment Groups N Vaccination Timing Vaccines Group weeks prior to AI Group days prior to AI Express FP 5 Vibrio-Lepto-5 Express FP 5 Vibrio-Lepto-5
36 Vaccination and Synchronization Timeline 8 Days 7 Days 1 Day 3 Days 7 Days 60 hours MGA.5mg/hd/d Group 1 Vaccinated Start MGA Stop MGA 1st PGF 2ά GnRH Group 2 Vaccinated 10 Days 2 nd PGF 2ά GnRH and A.I. 28 Days All cows were fed MGA and injected with PGF2ά and GnRH.
37 Protocol (continued) Bulls were turned with cows six days following AI. All cows were pregnancy checked using ultrasound 33 days after AI. Cows open 33 days following AI were pregnancy checked via ultrasound 35 days after removal of bulls.
38 Results First Service Conception Rate # Pregnant # Open Total % Pregnant a Group % Group b 52.1% a No significant difference between groups 1 and 2 (p>.05). b One cow culled prior to pregnancy check. Note: The first service conception rates were consistent with previous years in which the same synchronization and fixed-time breeding program were used in this herd.
39 Results Overall Pregnancy Rate # Pregnant # Open Total % Pregnant a Group % Group % a No significant difference between groups 1 and 2 (p>.05).
40 Summary The first service conception rate and overall pregnancy rate were not significantly different in cows vaccinated with Express FP 5 ten days prior to artificial insemination versus cows vaccinated four weeks prior to artificial insemination. Cows utilized in this study had received a yearly prebreeding MLV vaccine in the years prior to the study.

48 Decision IBR vaccination of pregnant cows & heifers is potentially the highest risk of causing abortions. Safety Conclusion Efficacy Modified live IBR vaccine should be given to heifers When designing heifer, pre-breeding at least 30 days prior to breeding. vaccination programs, vaccination history should be carefully considered and multivalent MLV vaccines should be used according to label directions. If heifers are not properly vaccinated they should not be vaccinated with MLV vaccines during pregnancy
