Australia marks five years since Johne's disease moved from national regulation to producer management, with most states having deregulated it. Western Australia is changing entry requirements for cattle, and producers wanting higher J-BAS scores will need herd testing.
Regulatory changes affect cattle movement and herd management costs in Australia but have minimal direct impact on global feed or commodity prices.
