[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 241846, member: 97"] Today 7/10/2006 4:09:00 PM US Cattle Groups Await Canada BSE Test Results KANSAS CITY (Dow Jones)--Representatives of the two largest U.S. cattle producer groups Monday said their groups would await final test results from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, or CFIA, before taking a stand on a possible new case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad-cow disease. Joe Schuele, director of trade media for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association said: "It's a position of waiting to learn all we can" about the case before making a definitive statement. Shae Dodson, communications coordinator for R-CALF United Stockgrowers of America, said in an e-mailed response to questions: "We're going to wait until the final test results come back. If those results are positive, then we will have a statement." The case involves a four-year-old cow in Alberta that died on the farm and was then tested, according to the CFIA. It follows on the heels of a cow that was at least 15 years old being discovered just a week ago. [b]Coincidentally, the latest case comes on a day when representatives of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Foundation, the Consumer Federation of America, the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Director of the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center met with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns to discuss their concerns regarding current USDA policies for BSE. A press release announcing the meeting said the group urged stronger safety measures to guard against BSE from getting into the U.S. food or feed chains.[/b] Source: Lester Aldrich, Dow Jones Newswires; 913-322-5179; [/QUOTE]
