| Abstract | Eleven pregnant Holstein cows were subjected to nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) testing for evidence of in utero transmission with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. Six dams (55%) were shown by nPCR to have positive PCR products in blood and/or milk. Tissues or fluid from fetuses were positive on 36% of the pregnancies; 2 of 4 placentomes tested gave positive PCR reaction products and 1 of 11 (9%) allantoic fluids. All pregnant cows were proven paratuberculosis positive through necropsy and microscopic examination. A percutanous technique on the standing pregnant cow is described for antemortem collection of allantoic fluid for PCR testing. |
