- Abstract
The article focuses on the integrated approach to prevent Johne's disease in ruminants specifically cattles. It cites the bioexclusion and biocontainment as a method to control the infectious bacteria caused by Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (Map) that target cattles' digestive tract. It states that bioexclusion involves the process of cleaning shared machinery to prevent spreading slurry in pasture. It adds that biocontainment limits the transmission of the disease in the farm.
