This week, Chris is back from holiday with his milk market report and Will and Ben are joined by Karen Bond, Veterinary Advisor with NMR and Nicky Bowden, Senior Consultant with Kite to discuss Johne’s Disease. Nicky outlines why we are still talking about Johne’s and the impact it can have on farm, not just relating to costs, health and welfare, but also on a farms carbon footprint. Karen dispels some of the misconceptions of Johne’s and reflects that while proactive farms are making good progress, there are still challenges around testing and need for this to be regular and consistent. Karen and Nicky discuss how farms can utilise testing data & other tools for decision making on farm, but that we should not underestimate going back to basics of disease control.
