Abstract
Johne’s disease (Paratuberculosis), a debilitating chronic granulomatous enteritis
of domesticated and wild ruminants that causes huge economic and production
losses to the dairy farmers. A six-year-old Jersey crossbred cow was presented
with a history of chronic diarrhoea, gradual weight loss, reduction in milk yield
and poor response to therapy. Based on history, clinical examination, Ziehl-
Neelsen staining and IS900 polymerase chain reaction of the faeces the case was
diagnosed as Johne’s disease. It warrants strict implementation of control
measures to put off further spread Johne’s disease in dairy animals.
