Delighted to be talking about eradicating Johne's Disease with farmers at the #DairyShow. Animals with the condition fail to thrive and are susceptible to mastitis and lameness. Potential here to make a huge difference to productivity - come and talk. #Dairy #Agritech https://t.co/JYAyvyQmVA

Johne's Disease can lay dormant in a cow, research by USDA estimates for every animal showing symptoms a further 15-25 animals in the herd are also infected. Actiphage as a pre-breeding test can help eliminate MAP from the herd.@BathandWest #DairyShow

By identifying live MAP in bulk milk, down to levels as low as 10 cells in 50ml; Actiphage provides a new test for quality assurance. Looking forward to discussing Johne's Testing in milk and blood @BathandWest #DairyShow
