from the cow immediately after
calving and washing the cow’s
udder again before drawing the
colostrum is another. And
colostrum should not be pooled
because that allows one con
taminated sample to infect all the
calves.
Separate housing for calves is
especially important. Calves must
be kept away from the manure of
adult animals, whether it’s along
fences, on the boots of the
dairyman, or in the bedding.
That’s how the paratuberculosis

investment bill, a house bill, is
currently in the Senate Ap

good chance at passage, according
to Wismer. The oil and gas bill,
S.B. 402, is in a House-Senate
conference committee where the
Grange will push for the com
mittee to retain a section requiring
a well operator to restore any
water supply that may be
diminished or contaminated.
The strongest opponent of all of

said, as legislators are faced with
many bills and only an estimated
six days in which to act.

“It’s the best way to feed cows in a free stall barn. It saves
labor and gets the right feed to the right cows. It alerts us to
individual cow performances in time to prevent serious health
problems. Getting more milk for the same amount of feed will
give us a return on our investment in less than 2 years.”

Calves should be pastured in
areas uncontaminated from the
manure of adults. And con
tamination of feed and water
should be avoided as well by using
separate waterers for calves and
adults.
All those suggestions are steps to
protect calves from exposure to
infected manure, but the other
important step in eliminating
Johne’s is to cull infected adults.
The guidelines and management
suggestions for handling Johne’s
are quite detailed. If you’ve had

Reduced Shrinkage—Shrink loss is cut up to 50% through natural
moisture removal without high temperature heat.
Better Grain Quality—With no high temperature heat to crack and
damage grain, more starch, sugar, valuable nutrients and profit are
retained.
