Abstract

Paratuberculosis, or Johne's disease (JD), is suspected to decrease the milk production in dairy cows. The objective of the study was to compare the individual cow's milk production on test day between milk-ELISA, JD-test positive and negative cows and to evaluate the relationship between breed and JD milk test results.
