[QUOTE="Farmer Keith, post: 7619543, member: 16808"] I’m not sure on the level of risk but it’s certainly there, our vet said not to graze ground spread with YS for a year was best practise for Johnes so that tells you how long it lives, you’d have to assume that keeping it off the leaf helps so the move to dribble bars etc can only be a positive thing. Obviously we live in the real world so have to make compromises to get the job done. Ultimately it’s going to be difficult to stay clear of all the diseases unless there’s some sort of coordinated approach between all farmers, particularly with the easy ones like BVD if we all tested and culled all the PIs in theory it’s simple enough to eradicate, not so easy with a disease like Johnes or Digi though.
