  Frequently Asked Questions 


Q: Johne's Disease has received alot of press lately. How do I know if I have it and what do I do?

A: Johne's is an insidious disease that is slow to develop and uncureable once the cow has it. Much of what you have likely read tells you that it is very difficult to deal with, but through good record-keeping and sanitation, you can limit it's devistatiing effects.

The University of Wisconsin's department of veterinary medicine has prepared an excellent web page. I encourage you to check it out at:

University of Wisconsin's Johne's Information Center

Contact you local veterinarian, test and begin developing your own herd protocol.
