Abstract
Most Canadian dairy farms made changes to management practices following a risk assessment-based control program for Johne’s disease, and the within-herd prevalence of the MAP bacteria decreased slightly. Only a concurrent herd test that includes the entire mature herd is useful to estimate the MAP infection status of a herd.
