Johne’s Disease Integrated Programs (JDIP)

JDIP is an acronym for Johne's Disease Integrated Program, a comprehensive consortium of scientists whose mission is to promote animal biosecurity through the development and support of projects that are designed specifically to enhance knowledge, promote education, develop real-world solutions and mitigate losses associated with Johne's Disease (JD). The primary benefit of coming together is to promote efficiencies through collaborative research and sharing the intellectual and physical resources that are critical to overall success.

Johne’s Demonstration Herds

In 2002, the National Johne's Disease Demonstration Project was proposed by an Ad Hoc Steering Committee of the U.S. Animal Health Association (USAHA) Committee on Johne's Disease with the objective "to develop and validate model strategies for control of Johne's Disease." In fiscal year 2003, $1.5 million was allocated to develop and support the project by continuing to fund it for at least 5 years.
