Healthy Herds

As the industry moves into a new phase of Johne’s disease management, testing requirements are changing and disease management protocols are progressing.

Any steps taken to tackle Johne's have a cascade impact in control of other diseases in your herd too, so starting today is a smart choice for a profitable tomorrow.

Johne’s management – Profit through prevention meetings

Join us at one of our GB-wide meetings designed for your whole farm team to equip you with the tools, knowledge and confidence to take the next step in Johne’s disease control.

Whether you have an existing plan or are struggling to know where to start, these events will offer practical guidance, share real-farm experience and give you expert advice to help refine your Johne’s plan, reduce disease prevalence and improve overall herd health.

The meetings will cover

• Making the most of milk recording data
• Johne’s control through better calf hygiene
• Managing cows during calving according to their infection status
• Critical biosecurity principles: biocontainment and bioexclusion
• Fine-tuning your team approach to on-farm behaviour change

You’ll hear directly from the host farmer and their vet, who will share their experience managing Johne’s – whether that’s maintaining a low-risk herd or tackling current challenges.
