TASAH – Johne’s disease Training

About the programme

The Irish Johne’s Control Programme (IJCP) represents a significant step for the Irish cattle industries in developing a long-term approach to the control of Johne’s disease.

The IJCP provides a package of effective and on-going disease prevention and containment practices to control the spread of Johne’s disease.

 

These practices provide a pathway for test-negative herds to guard against entry of infection and to demonstrate progress towards an improved herd assurance against Johne’s disease, and a pathway for test-positive herds towards reducing the spread and effects of infection.

All dairy farmers are encouraged to register with the IJCP. The IJCP is also available to beef herds.

For trained AVPs, currently there is no Johne’s disease TASAH training events scheduled.  If you are interested in training please complete the Expression of Interest form above.
