Throughout the rest of 2011 and the early part of 2012, JML will be making a special effort to contact farms that process deer with a high prevalence of JD-like lesions. Our goal is to provide assistance and support to these farmers. This includes helping to establish the extent of the JD problem, linking them with a Johne's Consultant Network veterinarian, paying for the JCN vets initial visit and working together to design an on-farm JD control programme tailor-made to the needs of each farmer.

JML, as part of the Johne's Research Group, has designed a 'declaration form' that offers important information about JD on lines of deer for sale. The form is short but includes information on action taken to minimise the chance that JD enters the source herd, action taken to control JD on the farm and diagnostic testing records if applicable. It enables sellers of deer to show they are aware of JD and that they are proactive in its control. It provides buyers with one of the many important pieces of information that determine the value of lines of deer for sale.
