Goat Producers Update on Johnes Disease and How to Have a Clean Herd
Cornell Cooperative Extension is offering a program for goat producers to learn more about the prevalence of Johnes Disease in the North Country goats. Jessica Scillieri Smith, Field Veterinarian for NY Ag and Markets and Betsy Hodge, CCE Livestock Educator, will present information about the findings of a study they have been conducting over the last few years on North Country farms. They will also talk about signs of Johnes Disease and how to manage it in your flock. Johnes is a challenging disease to manage because it doesn't show itself until the animals are older and it can mimic the symptoms of other problems like internal parasites.
