Canada 9th BSE case blamed on feed
Canada's ninth case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), announced in
February, was most likely caused by suspect feed, according to the Canadian Food
Inspection Agency.
The CFIA said in a statement that the latest case did not indicate an
increased risk of BSE, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, in Canada.
The
eighth case of BSE, found on August 9 on a commercial beef cow on a farm in
northern Alberta, Canada was also most likely caused by feed
ingredients.
