The first report of BVDV in Mexico was in 1975 this study revealed seropositivity of 75% in cows with a clinical history of infertility, abortions, and respiratory disease. The extensive genetic diversity of BVDV has been reported for several countries, where the incidence and genetic variation are more developed in Europe than in the Americas. These species are subdivided into subgenotypes based on phylogenetic analysis. Within the Pestivirus genus of the family Flaviviridae three viral species are associated with BVD Pestivirus A (Bovine viral diarrhea virus 1, BVDV-1), Pestivirus B (Bovine viral diarrhea virus 2, BVDV-2), and Pestivirus H (HoBi-like pestivirus, atypical ruminant pestivirus). BVD leads to significant economic losses to the cattle industry due to the wide range of clinical manifestations, including respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases and reproductive disorders. 3Molecular Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia-Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City, Mexicoīovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is an infectious disease, globally-distributed, caused by bovine Pestiviruses, endemic of cattle and other ruminant populations.2Ridpath Consulting, LLC and Ruminant Diseases and Immunology Research Unit, National Animal Disease Center, Ames, IA, United States.1Vaccinology Laboratory, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia-Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City, Mexico.Ridpath 2 Francisco Javier Basurto-Alcantara 1 Antonio Verdugo-Rodriguez 3 The initial list of 2022 designates a broad range of regions in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and the list will potentially be expanded sometime in December during the final announcement.Ninnet Gomez-Romero 1 * Julia F. Designated regions are announced twice a year: the initial list in the summer/early fall and the final list in December.

The Minister of AAFC designates regions based on production and extreme weather information in a particular year, in consultation with provinces and the industry. the area must be a recognized geo-political boundary large enough to impact the industry.

due to the extreme weather conditions mentioned above, the forage yields fall short of 50% of the long-term average in a particular year.

the region has been significantly impacted by drought, flood or excessive moisture conditions.

Prescribed regions are designated on the recommendation of the federal Minister of AAFC to the Minister of Finance after being satisfied that the regions meet the following conditions: Ī “breeding animal” under the deferral provision means “deer, elk and other similar grazing ungulates, bovine cattle, bison, goats, sheep and horses that are over 12 months of age and are kept for breeding.” Designated regionsįor farmers to qualify under the tax deferral provision, their farming business must be located within the prescribed region. Still, where a particular designated region is announced for consecutive years, a producer may defer to the first year in which the area is no longer designated, or the year the farmer dies or becomes a non-resident of Canada. Ī producer who meets the requirement of the deferral provision can defer tax for one year. However, where a farmer’s breeding herd reduces by 30% or more, 90% of the income from net sales can be deferred. Where a reduction in the breeding herd is up to 15 % but less than 30%, 30% of income from the net sales can be deferred to the following year. For a farmer within the prescribed region to qualify for the deferral provision, the breeding heard must have reduced by at least 15%. The federal Income Tax Act (ITA) allows farmers compelled to sell part of their breeding herd due to drought, flood or excessive moisture conditions to defer a portion of the sale proceeds to the following tax year. The LTD is aimed at assisting farmers directly impacted by the detrimental effects of extreme weather conditions. On August 30, 2022, Federal Minister of the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced an initial list of designated regions in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan where Livestock Tax Deferral (LTD) has been authorized for 2022.
