You canโt cull your way out of a Johnes problem! ๐ฉ
The long incubation period (2-5 years) means the next generation will already be infected before we know who to cull.

Visited 3 dairy farms (3-120 milking cows) in Kenya recently by tagging along on @miranda_vet #nuffield22 adventures. All farms X3 milking but struggling for forage quality and quantity ๐ฑ Clean water access prioritised and great farm goals on the office wall! #teamdairy ๐ฐ๐ช๐๐ฅ
