Johnes Disease
Johne’s disease is a bacterial disease of cattle and other ruminants for which there is no cure. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), hence the other name for the disease Paratuberculosis. As an industry we are trying to eradicate this disease which has a huge impact on the dairy sector. We are encouraging Lakeland Dairies suppliers to consider joining the eradiction programme

Cell Check
CellCheck is the national mastitis control programme, coordinated and facilitated by Animal Health Ireland.
As a farmer, why is mastitis control important to you? Mastitis can result in significant losses on any farm-when prevalent, it can significantly reduce farm profits. Mastitis reduces milk yield and leads to poor quality milk. Together, these factors erode the milk income received by farmers and processors. In addition, antibiotic therapy used to overcome udder disease adds to dairy farmers’ costs and stress. Contact Member Relation on (0818) 474720 to find out more and book yourself a dry cow consult
