Johne's Disease - Cow

Johne's Disease is a chronic and potentially fatal disease in ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. It primarily affects the intestines, causing diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition. Though there is no cure, prevention and control focus on herd management practices like testing, culling, and reducing environmental contamination. Johne's Disease poses a significant challenge in livestock management, especially in dairy and beef operations.
