Overview

 

Alongside the R&D programme the JDRC investigates topics of interest to ensure New Zealand had a thorough understanding of the disease in its New Zealand context.         

A number of reviews were commissioned by the JDRC including:

  • a review of the Prevalence of JD in New Zealand
  • an assessment of vaccination as a control tool; and
  • the observations of lesions at slaughter as a surveillance tool.

JDRC also ran workshops to upskill industry and producers. Information given at these forums is reproduced below.
