CattleMAP Manual

CattleMAP is Australia's Johne's Disease Market Assurance Program for Cattle. It is part of the national effort to control Johne's disease.

Participation in the program contributes to the ongoing efforts to control Johne's disease through on-farm biosecurity practices and testing. The program aims to reduce the impact on Australian livestock and trade, and ensures the long-term sustainability of the cattle industry in Australia.

The new edition of the CattleMAP manual can be downloaded as an electronic document and contains all the information you need to establish and maintain a CattleMAP herd. Alternatively, you can order a hard copy from Animal Health Australia.

The manual provides introductory material covering the background to the program, how and by whom the program is managed, brief details of how testing operates in the program and the review processes that are involved. The main section of the manual (Elements 1-7 and Appendices) details how to establish and maintain a CattleMAP herd.
