Health programs
The health programs in Swedish herds are very far-reaching, with among other things so are the Swedish breed stock now gone in to year eleven in the Para TB (Johne’s disease)-program (The test program are completed after five years). Which imply that the herds are tested once every year. They are forbidden to have contact with animal that aren’t in the same phase of the program.
Most Swedish herds are also connected to a samonellose program.
We have also BVD program,
tests are taken at least once a year, to stay in the program.
