Looking for info

[Santas and Duhram Reds]

Is there a website that talks about the prevalence of Johnes in cattle. The estimated numbers or the states most affected?

Don't know if there are any state by state numbers, but johnesdisease.org says about 68.1% of dairy herds and 8% of beef herds are infected (2007 numbers).

I just read that it was 60 % in dairy herds milking over 300 head, I think it is only around 20 percent with an average 100 head or less of milkers..Beef is not that accurate as a lot have been culled or the old SSS...and there have not been vary many government funding test programs for beef like there has been for dairy.

There are a lot of good web sites out there ,just google them ;or contact your vet or local ag rep. they can send you in the right direction..
