Although assurance-based programs may not significantly reduce the regional prevalence or impact of the disease or condition of concern, they can reduce further spread by providing sources of low-risk stock for producers who wish to avoid introducing unwanted diseases to their farm. They can also be used as part of a broader regulatory or voluntary control program. Examples of assurance-based programs include the various Johne’s disease Market Assurance Programs in Australia and similar programs in other countries, as well as industry-based product quality programs.
