[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1391719, member: 12607"] [i]Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis [/i](MAP), the organism that causes Johne's Disease in cattle, is shed in milk/colostrum of infected cattle - it's not just in fecal contamination of teats that's an issue. Additionally, numerous studies have demonstrated that MAP survives pasteurization. While the Johne's Disease/Crohn's Disease association is strong, it is still just that - a correlation/association, not a proven causation. However, I personally would be inclined NOT to drink milk from a known positive Johne's cow... If she were going to be my 'family' milk cow, I'd have made a negative test result a requirement before I'd have purchased her... a positive test result to any of the 'big 3' would have been a deal-breaker.
