    Paratuberculosis is a debilitating disease of livestock caused by Mycobacterium avium (MAP). As a result of economic impact caused, disease is now one of the most important problems of dairy industry. Detection of animals shedding MAP organism plays a crucial role in herd eradication of the disease. Aim of the presented study was to evaluate relationship between MAP ELISA results, Intradermal Johnin test and fecal MAP shedding ratio. 40 ELISA and Johnin test positive animals were selected for the study. 25 of 40 animals (62.5%) were shedding MAP organisms with their feces. Results of the present study indicate that combination ELISA and Johnin test results is a useful tool for prediction of animals shedding MAP.
