The invention relates to a Quadruple Gene Deleted Mutant Bovine Herpesvirus Type 1 (BHV-1 QMV) engineered to express protective antigens derived from viruses associated with infection in livestock. The recombinant vector includes a deletion of a cytoplasmic tail of envelope glycoprotein gE (gE-CT), a truncation of glycoprotein gG, a deletion of envelope protein UL49.5 amino acid residues 30-32, and a deletion of UL49.5 cytoplasmic tail amino acid residues 80-96. The truncation of glycoprotein gG comprises a deletion of amino-terminal amino acid residues 1-67. The recombinant vector can include at least two heterologous antigens inserted therein. Included are methods for creating recombinant vectors, mutant viruses, and vaccines for preventing or reducing symptoms associated with viral infection in livestock, in particular bovine respiratory viral infection
