Contagious, chronic, & usually fatal infection that affects primarily the
small intestine of ruminants.
Caused by : Mycobacterium avian sub paratuberculosis
(MAP)
Q: What is Johne’s Disease?
![Page 4: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Q: What are the clinical signs of Johne’s Disease?
• Lowered milk production • Diarrhea, weight loss, bottle jaw despite
normal appetite • Signs rarely evident until >1 year or more
years after initial infection • Most infected are “subclinical” without
obvious signs other than reduced productivity

Johne’s Disease
• Difficult to diagnose • No treatment • Difficult to control • Prevention
– Maintain a closed flock/herd – Be careful with cow
colostrum – Testing less reliable in
sheep/goats

CAE (Caprine Arthritis & Encephalitis)
OPP (Ovine Progressive Pneumonia)
![Page 9: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats
which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis (rare) in young kids
• Similar to OPP in sheep • CAE virus is primarily
transmitted to kids through colostrum
• Contact transmission is rare, but possible
• No treatment or vaccine is available
![Page 10: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE)
• Control/eradicate CAE – A positive blood test
means the goat has antibodies for the virus.
– Cull seropositive goats from the herd.
– Separate kids from dams and feeding kids artificially.
– Buy from CAE-free herds.
![Page 11: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ovine Progressive Pneumonia (OPP) Maedi-Visna
• A slowly progressive viral disease caused by an ovine lentivirus.
• Similar to CAE • Sheep are infected for life • Some breeds more susceptible • Primary means of transmission is
through the ingestion of infected colostrum and milk
• Contact transmission possible • Symptoms
– Loss of body condition, “thin ewe syndrome”
– Increased breathing at rest – Fever, cough, lethargy, nasal discharge – Hard bag
• No treatment or vaccine
26% of the sheep in the United States are infected with the OPP virus

Soremouth
• Treatment usually not needed in goats – Benzalkonium chloride
• Zoonotic!! • wear gloves

Prevention • Closed flock/herd • Inapparent carriers • Fomites • Pens at show • Vaccination if showing
or endemic • Colorado Serum Co & Texas vaccines
Vaccine introduces virus to farm Vaccinate inside ear, inside thigh,
under-side of tail at 6-8 wk In face of outbreak Do 6 weeks before shows

Program Summary • As of August 31, 2013, the percent of cull sheep found
positive at slaughter and adjusted for face color was 0.016 percent. This measure of prevalence has decreased by 89 percent since slaughter surveillance started in FY 2003.
• At the current rate of progress, we expect the prevalence to be at or near zero for FY 2017.

Scrapie Identification Eradication versus Certification
Eradication (mandatory) • Need permanent official
individual ID to enter livestock auction markets or to travel to another state
• To order FREE Scrapie tags, call toll free:
1-866-USDA- TAG (866-873-2824)
Certification • Voluntary program • Scrapie Flock Certification Program • Apply to USDA APHIS VS
– VS Form5-22
• Annual inspection of all animals ≥ 12 months of age
• MUST keep good records (additions, sales, deaths)
• Additions should come from compliant flocks/herds

Clinical Signs of Scrapie in Goats: • Pruritus (itching) of head or
other areas of the body • Hair loss and abrasions from
rubbing • Hypersensitivity to touch • Ataxia - loss of coordination • Weakness or inability to get up • Weight loss • Aggression or other behavioral
changes • Infected goats may have any
combination of these signs

Official National Scrapie Eradication Program
• Requires most goats to be officially identified when – Sold, or – Exhibited.
• Requires sale records to be kept for 5 years. • Goat owners have options for official ID:
![Page 60: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Official Identification • Options include:
– Registered Tattoos or APHIS assigned Tattoos
• Ear • Tail in LaManchas
– Official Ear tags • See Goat Identification
PowerPoint at www.eradicatescrapie.org for details
or
• Call 866-USDA-TAG

ID and Record Keeping • Producers’ role is vital
– Scrapie in goats is hard to diagnose and potentially under-recognized
• Keeping good records is essential • In several cases, maintaining records for > 5
years would have been valuable • Traceable identification is key to finding
infected animals that may transmit scrapie
![Page 62: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Scrapie Free Flock Certification Program (SFCP) Revision 2013
What is the SFCP? The SFCP is a voluntary program that monitors participating flocks for evidence of scrapie, and depending on the category of participation, leads to certification of negligible risk of scrapie existing in the flock or herd.
![Page 63: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
SFCP Revision 2013
• In 1947, the first case of scrapie was confirmed in the United States.
• In 1952, USDA initiated the national scrapie eradication program. – Successfully reduced the spread of scrapie – Eradication was not achieved - hindered by a lack
of both scientific knowledge and preclinical testing
![Page 64: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
SFCP Revision 2013 • In 1988, USDA announced in the Federal Register
that discontinuation of the scrapie program was under consideration – Program would be discontinued while APHIS considered a
new approach to controling/eradicating the disease – Public comments argued for continuing the program while
exploring a new approach
• In 1992, through negotiated rulemaking USDA added a voluntary scrapie flock certification program (SFCP) to the national scrapie eradication program. – Opportunity for sheep and goat producers to elect to follow
protocols designed to minimize scrapie exposure in their flocks/herds.
– Provided a one-time indemnity for infected/source flocks.
![Page 65: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
SFCP Revision 2013 Why revise the SFCP? • The objective of the National Scrapie Eradication Program
is to find and remove the last remaining sheep and goats infected with classical scrapie in the U.S., and then document the absence of the disease for a period of 7 years to gain international recognition as a scrapie-free country.
• The challenge is to maintain current levels of surveillance through traditional channels while also increasing flock-level sampling to find the last remaining cases of classical scrapie. – In the current budget environment this is becoming more
challenging to accomplish. – To find the last remaining cases, scrapie resources must be
directed toward surveillance.

Revised SFCP • May 3 - APHIS published a Notice in the Federal Register
announcing our intention to revise the SFCP. – Comment period closed June 3.
• Revised SFCP standards approved June 20, and the revised
SFCP can be considered in effect June 2013.
• SFCP Participant Notification – April 18, 2013 - APHIS sent letters to SFCP participants notifying them that
the Notice advising the public of the revised program would be published in the next 2-3 weeks.
– June 21, 2013 – APHIS sent a second set of letters to participants informing them that the revised program is in effect and outlining the actions they need to take if they wish to continue participation in the program.
• APHIS scrapie Web site updated with the new information.

Barnyard Biosecurity Goat & Sheep Diseases Tip 2 Isolate new animals for 2-4 weeks. Have no contact between new animals and the resident farm herd/flock animals during this time. Prevent introduction onto your farm by keeping a closed herd/flock and purchase animals from known sources.
![Page 74: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Tip 3 Restrict access to the farm: post signs for vehicle and foot traffic control; keep a visitor log; don’t track disease in- wear different shoes, clothes and hat to livestock auction market/public area and change before working with livestock. Tip 4 Provide good nutrition (water, feed, and minerals) and management plan (vaccination, deworming, etc.) to maintain a healthy herd/flock
![Page 75: Diseases to Keep off the Farm - Southern Goat Producers · Caprine Arthritic Encephalitis (CAE) • Retroviral infection of goats which may lead to chronic disease of joints and encephalitis](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050519/5fa302e9679b1045ec70faff/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Tip 5 Report animals with unusual illness or those that are not responding to treatment to your local veterinarian, Clemson University Livestock Poultry Health or USDA/VS/SC. Early detection may save animal lives.
