Purchased: Home Raised: What year was the youngest animal with Clinical Johne's identified? SELECT A NUMBER FROM 1 TO 8 FOR EACH QUESTION BELOW BASED ON THE ASSOCIATED DESCRIPTIONS What do the number, ages, and timeframe of clinical cases suggest about the prevalence of Johne's Infection in the herd? Low Moderate 1-2 No or rare cases, clinical in only purchased animals, <5% prevalence in mostly older cattle, excellent management. 3-4 Occasional clinicals in home raised, recent history of 2-5% clinical per year, 6-19% test prevalence, management allowed for some contact of youngstock with manure or older animals. High 5-6 Very High 7-8 Frequent clinicals in home-reared animals, increasing clinical cases, decreasing age of clinicals, >20% prevalence distributed across age groups, severe management risks for contact of youngstock with manure of older cattle. What is the likely risk of spreading Johne's Disease in the calving area? Low 1-2 Clean, dry, short stay. Moderate 3-4 High 5-6 Very High 7-8 Dirty environment, long stay. What is the likely risk for spreading Johne's after calving? Low 1-2 No contact, no manure ingested, healthy dam colostrum/milk from test negative cows or milk replacer. Moderate 3-4 High 5-6 Very High 7-8 Significant contact, pooled colostrum or milk from unhealthy cows, ingestion of manure What is the likely risk for spreading Johne's to heifers after weaning? Low 1-2 No contact, no manure ingested Moderate 3-4 High 5-6 Very High 7-8 Significant contact, contaminated feed or water What is the likely risk of having Johne's introduced to the herd? Low 1-2 No imports, imports from low-risk herds. Moderate 3-4 High 5-6 Very High 7-8 Many imported animals, unknown herd status or poorly managed herds. Page 11 of 13
