Abstract

There is general consensus on how to control Johne's Disease (JD) but there are few longitudinal field studies to demonstrate that such recommendations actually work. The goal of the project was to fill this need by testing a single specific affordable control program in ten Wisconsin commercial dairy herds with diverse sizes and management styles.
