🐏 Don't let disease through the farm gate.
MV can reduce fertility, milk production and lamb performance, while OJD is present in around 64% of UK flocks and can reduce flock productivity by up to 46%.
Buy from PSGHS-accredited flocks and buy with confidence.

✅ No mixing with non‑accredited animals
✅ Keep 2m (sheep) / 3m (goats) distance
✅ Clean transport & kit

🔔 PSGHS reminder: Added MV/CAE‑accredited animals over 6 months ago?

They’re now due their compulsory post‑arrival test ✅

🐑 Johne’s disease is a hidden threat in UK sheep flocks — causing 5–10% ewe mortality.
It hits productivity hard: reduced fertility, poorer lamb growth and long‑term underperformance.
✅ PSGHS accreditation & monitoring help farmers detect it early, strengthen biosecurity, and protect performance.

MV can spread silently for years, causing reduced fertility, milk, lower DLWG, higher losses… and major financial impact.
The PSGHS MV Monitoring Scheme offers a simple, affordable way for commercial flocks to check their MV status before problems escalate.
