Calf Rearing Techniques used to Prevent Johne’s Disease Transmission

[Freya Smith]

CALLING ALL UK DAIRY FARMERS

I am a fourth year student at Harper Adams University studying BSc Agriculture.
For my final year project I am investigating the management strategies implemented within UK dairy calf rearing systems to reduce the prevalence of Johne’s disease.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take the time to complete my 10 minute survey by clicking on the link below.

Question 17 could be better worded. It doesn’t allow two answers. We feed. pasteurised colostrum from the first 4 days to calves to about 2 weeks of age and then milk powder. I wouldn’t class the colostrum from the first 4days as ‘waste’ milk as in your descriptions. To me waste milk is from cows treated with antibiotics which we would throw away.

Thank you for your feedback, I understand your point of view and will evaluate on it within my project. Much appreciated
