Abstract
The economic impact of paratuberculosis has been estimated in dairy cattle for several areas of the United States and in some other dairy-intensive areas of the world. Losses are primarily due to decreased milk production and unrealized income related to premature culling. Milk production losses in the range of 15% have been reported in paratuberculosis-infected cows. Additional economic costs include diagnostic testing, control measures, and accelerated cull and replacement rates.Entities:
