Figure 1

The overview of a typical dairy herd in terms of management groups. Adult animals resided in adult/milking herd group (left circle), after calving, newborns remained with the dam in maternity pen for one day (top circle), then calves older than one day transferred to the calf rearing group (right circle) and after 60 days they transferred to the heifer rearing group (bottom circle). Six transmission routes were considered in the model. There were four lactation states (V-voluntary waiting period, I-insemination, P-pregnancy, and D-dry-off-period) and three MAP progression states (H-latent, Y1-low shedding, Y2-high shedding animals). Abbreviation: d: days.
