Johne's Disease testing guidance | Tarn Farm Vets
Following the recent Red Tractor requirement for milking goat herds to have a Johne’s control plan in place, the Goat Veterinary Society and Milking Goat Association have worked together to develop a joint initiative 🐐
Part of the first phase of this initiative involves establishing the Johnes status of your goat herd. But how do you go about this?
There are several different ways, and it's important to pick the method that best suits your herd.
Don't delay - call us today for bespoke advice 📞

Whilst the calves were having a snooze after their disbudding, it was the perfect time to take their genomic samples 💤🐄
Carrying out genomic testing involves taking a small tissue sample from the ear to send for analysis. The data can then be used to determine which animals are best for future breeding based on genomic traits such as:
🔹Milk production
🔹Health quality
🔹Other key characteristics

Happy and settled calves during stress-free disbudding today 👏🐄
Stress-free disbudding is a routine procedure carried out on farm, and we recommend that calves should be at least 2-3 weeks old. A stress-free approach involves using a light sedation to make the calves sleepy before carrying out the disbudding. This approach can also help improve the calves' recovery time.
