Investigation of the Role of Some Selected Virus Species of in Abnormality of Calves

Early embryonic death, fetal resorption, mummification/maceration, abortion, and abnormalities are some of the causes losses in farm animals. In this study, it was aimed to make recommendations clinician veterinarians by investigating presence bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), schmallenberg (SBV), akabane (AKAV) herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) viruses calves with congenital anomalies. Brought Fırat University Animal Hospital for diagnosis treatment, found have anomalies after general clinical examination during visits surrounding villages, they were classified as different races (25 Simmental, 4 Holstein, 2 Montafon, East Anatolian Red, 1 Hybrid) (28 male, 6 females) 34 aged between day month included study. The detected followed: Hydrocephalus (n:1), cerebellar hypoplasia brahignati inferior (n:5), mandibular laterognathism arthrogryposis cheilognathopalatoschisis (n:2), coccygeal agenesis atresia ani (n:4), bouleture/arqure ocular orbital deformities (n:7), dermoid cysts (n: 2), miniature others (n:2). According PCR results, pestivirus (17.6%) abnormalities. After sequencing, expected product (288 nucleotides) showed high identity (97% above) BVDV-1 strain/isolates GenBank. conclusion, although primary purpose cattle breeding seems be meat milk yield, is also very important continue production process healthy newborn calves. For reason, even if seen at a low rate calves, should not underestimated will cause economic we believe that ignore these diseases.
