Ovine Johne’s Disease in Australia
National OJD Management Plan 2013-2018
An updated ovine Johne’s disease website is being developed to ensure the content supports the revised national plan which will start on 1 July 2013. This website is being updated as information about the revised plan becomes available.

The principal aims of the plan from July 2013 will be:
- To minimise the risk of infection by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (Mptb) spreading to properties and regions that currently appear disease free.
- To reduce the financial impact and adverse animal health and welfare effects of the disease on individual flocks, and on the sheep industry as a whole.
