| A longitudinal study on the impact of Johne's disease status on milk production in individual cows. |
Discipline: disease; Keywords: pathogen, faecal culture, blood serum tests, economic losses, culling. How does infection with Johne's disease affect milk production in dairy herds? Smith and co-workers studied the status of the disease in three herds in the US and tried to predict the impact on milk production when the condition is latent or when the cows are actually shedding cells. The study was published in the Journal of Dairy Science, Volume 92 of 2009, pages 2653 to 2661, with the title: A longitudinal study on the impact of Johne's disease status on milk production in individual cows. |
