A fantastic conference dedicated to Johne’s disease was hosted by Dairy UK in October. A review of national incidence and disease costs was presented by Ben Bartlett.. Pete Orpin reviewed the critical areas of control and Dick Sibley focussed on the key steps to prevent disease entry. Soren Nielsen elegantly demonstrated how the disease has been controlled in Denmark.
