No. Dairy cows, especially those that have been "improved" for more conventional and commercial dairy farming are actually less disease resistant than their heritage ancestors or other breeds that are more heritage-type animals than commercial Jerseys or Holstein Cattle. Commercially-raised dairy cows are susceptible to any and all diseases unless they are vaccinated and/or properly cared for and fed to prevent such disease from occurring. Mastitis, Milk Fever, Ketosis, Johnes Disease, Foot and Mouth Disease, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, Bovine Viral Diarrhea, and Tuberculosis are just some diseases that dairy cattle can get.
