Would a BVD vaccine cause abortions in pregnant cows?

No, but a modified live vaccine (MLV) may cause embryo death or an infection of the fetus, especially if you time the vaccinations wrong. But no, it won't cause abortion. A killed vaccine is more safe and effective to vaccinate your cows against BVD. An oil-based killed BVD vaccine is safer and more effective than either MLV vaccines or other types of killed vaccines. If you are concerned about infecting your cows' fetuses with MLV, then it's best to use the killed vaccine instead.
