Standards for Voluntary Johne's Disease Control Program [0]

This document describes the cooperative State, Federal, Industry Voluntary Bovine Johne ’s Disease Control Program to be administered by the State and supported by industry and the Federal Government. This publication is intended as a working document that will change as the program develops.

The objective of this program is to provide minimum national standards for the control of Johne’s disease. The program consists of three basic elements: (1) Education, to inform producers about the cost of Johne’s disease and to provide information about management strategies to prevent, control and eliminate it; (2) Management, to work with producers to establish good management strategies on their farms; and (3) Herd Testing and Classification, to help separate test-positive herds from test-negative herds.
