Robert Wolf,Herman W. Barkema,J. De Buck,M. Slomp,J. Flaig,Deb Haupstein,C. Pickel,Karin Orsel +7 more
TL;DR: The majority of Alberta and Saskatchewan dairy farms were infected with MAP and larger herds were more often MAP positive than smaller herds.

TL;DR: According to logistic regression, participating farms had larger herds, higher self-assessed knowledge of JD, better understanding of AJDI details before participation, and used their veterinarian more often to get information about new management practices and technologies when compared with nonparticipants.

Short communication: Herd-level prevalence of Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis is not associated with participation in a voluntary Alberta Johne’s disease control program
Caroline Ritter,Robert Wolf,Cindy L. Adams,David F. Kelton,C. Pickel,S. Mason,Karin Orsel,J. De Buck,Herman W. Barkema +8 more
TL;DR: There was no indication that voluntary participation in the AJDI was associated with herd-level MAP prevalence, and based on multivariable logistic regression, the number of MAP-positive samples was not associated with AJDI participation.

Effectiveness of a standardized footbath protocol for prevention of digital dermatitis.
TL;DR: It is concluded that on farms with high DD prevalence, implementation of proper footbath design and improvement of footbathing management will decrease prevalence of active DD lesions and increase prevalence of feet without DD lesions.
