[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1748737, member: 16453"] BLV, Bovine Leukaemia Virus is one that can be readily transferred with needles. I guess you have to assess the risk. If you have a closed herd you may get away with multiple use of needles with some things but then people who have a closed herd tend to be a bit more pedantic with their biosecurity and be more likely to change needles. I don't think BVD and BRD are biggies being transmitted by needles, if you had a PI in your herd it is more likely spread through the likes of water points. If you bring outside cattle into your herd I think changing the needles every dose would be more important. Ken [/QUOTE]
