NATIONAL CATTLE HEALTH DECLARATION EXPLANATORY NOTES
signing.
Cale Heath Declaraons are a way for producers to provide informaon about the health
status of the cale they are selling. Buyers should ask vendors for a Declaraon and use
the informaon provided to determine the health risks associated with the animals on
oer.
Some states/territories require tesng or cercaon addional to that outlined in
this document e.g. Johne’s disease (JD) in WA and for Enzooc Bovine Leucosis (EBL) in
Tasmania. Please check the entry requirements for any interstate movements at:
www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/what-we-do/endemic-disease/livestock-movements
The original of this form is to be aached to the Naonal Vendor Declaraon (NVD)
form accompanying the cale, if applicable. A duplicate remains with the vendor; it is
recommended the vendor retains a copy of this declaraon for seven (7) years.
QUESTIONS 3 & 4:
TESTING
Persistently infected animals can be detected by conducng a pesvirus angen test. This
test only needs to be conducted once in an animal’s life. Cale that test posive in most
cases are persistently infected animals. Pesvirus anbody tesng may be done to check
the pesvirus status of the herd. Dairy cale may be tested through bulk milk tesng.
Contact your veterinarian for assistance. Producers who don’t know the answer to these
quesons should ck the ‘N’ box.
QUESTION 5: JOHNE’S DISEASE TESTING
Check test – tesng of 50 adult animals in the herd (or all eligible animals in a herd if less
than 50 adult animals) biased to increase the probability of detecng infecon, tested
by (pooled) faecal culture or (pooled) HT-J faecal PCR. An ELISA test is available but is not
recommended and also not accepted for entry of cale to WA.
Sample test – screening of the adult herd or a large representave sample of the adult
herd by an approved test (pooled) faecal culture or (pooled) HT-J faecal PCR. See note
above for ELISA test.
(for dairy cale) – a test of a representave
sample of faecal material from the yard (see JD in Cale Denions & Guidelines for
details). Details are available at www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/jd-cale-tools.
QUESTIONS 6 & 7: JOHNE’S DISEASE
Occurrence of JD refers to clinical disease in the herd or on the property(s). Clinical disease
is an infected animal with chronic diarrhoea and weight-loss that does not respond to
treatment.
The Johne’s Beef Assurance Score (J-BAS) is a voluntary tool developed for JD risk proling.
Details are available at www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/jd-cale-tools. The J-BAS is an
inial guide and purchasers should ask for more informaon about JD in the origin herd
(see the JD in Cale Biosecurity Checklist on the ‘JD in cale’ webpage). The Naonal Farm
Biosecurity Reference Manual - Grazing Livestock Producon provides a template to use
for the property biosecurity plan. All plans should include the JD in Cale Biosecurity Plan
Checklist.
The Johne’s Disease Dairy Score (JDDS) is a voluntary tool for JD risk proling in dairy cale.
Informaon is available at www.dairyaustralia.com.au/bjd
– Buyers of cale from this consignment may consider
the grazing of other JD-suscepble species (sheep, goats, alpacas) on the source property
as important to their risk-management decisions. These buyers are entled to seek
informaon on how you have managed disease risks for all your livestock.
Provide details on any cale treatments in the last six (6) months and vaccinaons within
the last twelve (12) months.
Some manufacturers include more than one of the categories listed in the same vaccine,
known as a combinaon vaccine. If you use a combinaon vaccine, each agent(s), as
appropriate, should be detailed.
For vaccinaons to be current, you must have followed the manufacturer’s recommendaon
for vaccinaon. Typically, young animals or rst me vaccinated animals need two (2) doses,
followed by annual boosters. As variaons to this general rule do occur (e.g. Silirum is given
once only), you must use the manufacturer’s recommendaons.
At the date the declaraon is made and as a result of the vaccinaon(s) given, the animals
are considered protected from the diseases marked as treated.
DECLARATION
This secon must only be completed by the owner or person responsible for the husbandry
of the cale in the consignment.
