This week, after Chris’ milk market report, Will and Ben dive into the important topic of Johne’s disease management as they discuss the recent launch of Phase Three of the National Johne’s Management Plan. They are joined by Karen Bond, Veterinary Technical Advisor at National Milk Records (NMR), along with Ben Watts, Kite's Head of Technical and Innovation, and Norfolk farmer Jonny Burridge. They discuss the new phase of the plan which builds upon the previous efforts aimed at controlling and reducing the incidence of this disease, focusing on risk management, best practice and the implementation of effective control strategies. The conversation explores the practical & financial implications of the management plan on farms, the changes with the average test value and the importance of data in successfully managing Johne’s disease to make sure phase three is a success.
