Ginger, a calf born on July 19, 2021, is the first gene-edited calf born with a resistance to bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The calf was born healthy, and once it was a few months old they housed it for a week with a BVDV-infected dairy calf. After the week was up, Ginger showed no symptoms of BVDV. Gene editing could be the new normal in the cattle industry to help offset the billions of dollars that ranchers lose each year to this virus.
