[QUOTE="regolith, post: 666490, member: 9267"] pure anecdote: I've been working with dairy cows since 1993. In 2006 I bought mature cows, and a couple months later two recently calved cows lost their milk, lost a lot of weight, one was scouring. My inclination was to presume it was respiratory and start them on antibiotics, but instead I got the vet to look at them. He told me on sight one was Johne's and blood tested the other - test was positive, both cows were culled. Next time I saw the disease I recognised it. In the previous thirteen years (five different herds) I had never seen a cow with Johne's. I think the percentage herds infected in NZ are fairly similar to the numbers quoted... it's possibly more likely to be identified in dairy herds than beef. [/QUOTE]
