Johne's disease control at calving

Johne's disease is a bacterial disease of cattle and other ruminants for which there is no cure. Cattle become infected as calves by drinking milk or eating food contaminated with the bacteria which is shed in the dung or milk in infected adult cattle. Excellent standards of calf hygiene immediately from birth are essential in preventing calves from becoming infected with the bacteria that cause Johne's disease. It's important to remove calves from their dams as soon as possible after calving so that they have minimal exposure to cow dung in the pen and on the teeths.
