The primary purpose of the project is to educate producers and veterinarians about Johne's disease by engaging them in a process of evaluating each individual herd's status and risk for Johne's disease and identifying specific management practices that can be implemented to prevent or control the disease on the farm.
Premises registration will give the Agency of Agriculture the means to educate livestock owners about disease prevention, advise them of an impending disease, and respond properly in the event of an outbreak. Experience has demonstrated that Premises Registration is the essential “tool”.
