								Johne's disease in sheep  
								(Mycobacterium paratuberculosis) 
                                                     
													This bacterial (paratuberculosis) disease is responsible for a 
								chronic, wasting, immune suppressive condition 
								in SHEEP, cattle. 
								 
								The disease is incurable ( not treatable ) and 
								is considered as a notifiable and an erosion 
								disease 
								(profit eater !) 
								The disease is treated with a greater 
								REGULATORY status by STATE authorities than 
								vs bovine Brucellosis or bovine 
								Tuberculosis. The question should be, WHY ? This 
								disease is not a known ZOONOSIS 
								 
								Is your flock / herd 
								clean ? 
								How do you know it is clean ?
