Lancashire: Johne's Management - Profit through Prevention

Join us for a lunch and learn, designed for your whole farm team which will equip you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take the next step in Johne's disease control.

As the industry moves into a new phase of Johne's disease management, testing requirements are changing and disease management protocols are progressing. Any steps taken to tackle Johne's have a cascade impact in control of other diseases in your herd too, so attending is highly recommended even if you don’t consider Johne's a challenge to your herd.

Whether you have an existing plan, or are struggling to know where to start, these events will offer practical guidance, share real-farm experience and give you expert advice to help refine your Johne's plan, reduce disease prevalence and improve overall herd health.

You’ll hear from Pete Orpin, who will discuss how to manage Johne's – whether that's maintaining a low-risk herd or tackling current challenges.

The meeting will cover:

• Making the most of milk recording data
• Johne's control through better calf hygiene
• Managing cows during calving according to their infection status
• Critical Biosecurity principles: biocontainment and bioexclusion
• Fine tuning your team approach to on-farm behaviour change

We’re also offering attendees who milk record the opportunity to sign up for a follow-on benchmarking workshop, which will allow you to understand your own herd data in relation to others, give you follow-up support, and help you frame the conversation with your own vet to bolster your farm’s bespoke Johne's action plan.

If you're ready to go further in your Johne's control journey, this is a great opportunity to build on what you’ve learned and learn from other proactive farmers.
