Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) Antibody Virus Neutralisation Titre (VNT)

If cattle are suspected as having been infected with BVD virus, a VNT can be used on paired convalescent sera. This is a more expensive test than other BVD testing options and not used as frequently now the BVD antibody ELISA is a quantitative test.
