Been reading about Bovine Johne’s and farm biosecurity plans, but still not sure what it means for you?
No problem – we want to help!
A new era in livestock biosecurity management is indeed approaching. Essentially producers will be required to complete a farm biosecurity plan, in compliance with new Livestock Production Assurance regulations that come into effect on October 1.
These regulations include the management of Bovine Johne’s disease.
As the timeline below indicates, news of the reforms have been somewhat of a saga.
If you've got a question on the changes, or need something clarified, we're putting our heads together with animal health experts this week to sort it out.
