The Committee met on Oct. 2, 2011, at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Buffalo, New York, from 12:30-5:00 p.m. There were 39 members and 15 guests present. In FY 2011, as of August 25, State reported activities included 105,042 cattle tested by serum ELISA, 64,792 cattle tested by milk ELISA, and 11,530 cattle tested by fecal culture or PCR. There were 4,145 enrolled herds (3,418 dairy and 727 beef) of which 322 are test negative herds (196 dairy and 126 beef). Herds enrolled as test negative herds are progressing through to level 4. There are 84 Johne's program level 1 (52 dairy and 32 beef), 102 Johne's program level 2 (57 dairy and 45 beef), 23 Johne's program level 3 (9 dairy and 14 beef), and 113 Johne's program level 4 herds (78 dairy and 35 beef). This represents an overall continuing decline in most categories.
