Since cattle are ruminants, gastrointestinal tract illness is the most prevalent condition in cow breeding. Hemorrhagic bowel syndrome, winter dysentery, diarrhea, coccidiosis, and other gastrointestinal conditions affect cattle. Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are viral pathogens that cause digestive disorders. These gastrointestinal pathogens can cause symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, weight loss, abdominal distention, decreased milk production, etc. Every year, cow farms suffer significant financial losses because of the frequent occurrence of bovine gastrointestinal illnesses.

Bovine Gastrointestinal Virus VN Kit Development
The virus neutralization assay, a diagnostic test to identify the existence and quantity of functional systemic antibodies that inhibit a virus's infectivity, is used for the effective management of bovine gastrointestinal diseases brought on by various viral pathogens. The amount of serological cross-reactivity between vaccine antisera and variant BVD viruses, which may be correlated with cross-protection in the host, can be determined using the SVN test. Serological techniques and molecular biological techniques, such as PCR, have been utilized in recent years to diagnose the bovine gastrointestinal virus in the lab. The virus neutralization assay has clear advantages in terms of speed, sensitivity, and specificity when compared to other techniques. Today, a variety of VN approaches, such as the plaque reduction neutralization test and the serum viral neutralization assay are employed to detect antibodies.
