[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 49296, member: 220"] Here's a little more information on the mis used chicken feed. Canada's BSE bovine was rendered into poultry feed; U.S. clarifies feed rules by Pete Hisey on 10/5/04 for Meatingplace.com Contrary to published reports by the Canadian Broadcasting Company, the BSE-infected animal destroyed in 2003 was rendered into feed for poultry, according to a spokesman for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The infected animal could have been rendered into feed that went to thousands of Canadian farms, Sergio Tolusso, feed program director, told Meatingplace.com, but most of those were poultry farms. Tolusso blames the fact that the animal was rendered at all to a backlog at the time of three or more weeks at the testing facilities in Alberta. That backlog has since been reduced to 48 to 72 hours in plants close to major urban centers. The infected cow had been inspected and rejected as fit for human food, and a sample was taken. The animal was then mistakenly rendered. The CFIA then instituted three sets of traces: forward in the food chain, back to the birth farm and a tracing of the feed that resulted from the rendering. Farms with cattle present that may have received the feed were visited, and the agency found possible contaminated equipment at two farms, and another case where poultry droppings mixed with feed had been left available to cattle. These farms were quarantined and the cattle destroyed. New FDA guidelines about feed and BSE effective immediately Meanwhile, on Monday, the American Meat Institute announced that new U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines prohibiting the use of any BSE-positive material in any animal feed are in effect immediately, without the usual period for public comment. The document, "Use of Material from BSE-Positive Cattle in Animal Feed," has been issued now because, "in light of the increased BSE testing activities by the USDA, it is of public health importance to clarify that cattle that test positive for BSE are adulterated and are not to be used in any animal feed." Take care. [/QUOTE]
