[QUOTE="buckaroo_bif, post: 166877, member: 1061"] Here is what I was just reading on the subject :( BSE Case detected in Canada A new case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has been discovered in Canada, officials confirmed today. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has reported the disease in an approximately 6-year-old, crossbred cow born and raised in Alberta. According to reports, the animal did not enter the human food or animal feed systems. Alberta officials have launched a comprehensive investigation into the feeding regimen and storage practices of the farm where the BSE-infected cow was discovered, CFIA stated in a release. The agency will now work to identify offspring of the affected animal, as well as cattle born on the farm within 12 months before and after the affected animal. Any live animals found from these groups will be segregated and tested, according to CFIA. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns said he does not anticipate changes in the status of beef or live cattle imports to the U.S. from Canada. “As I’ve said many times, our beef trade decisions follow internationally accepted guidelines that are based in science,” Johanns said. “I am confident in the safety of beef and in the safeguards we and our approved beef trading partners have in place to protect our food supply. We will continue to adhere to international guidelines in our relationships with all trading partners, and my hope continues to be that we achieve a system of science-based global beef trade.” Johanns said the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will work with Canada and its investigative team and continue to evaluate the situation as the investigation continues. Johanns’ reaction to the news was mirrored by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA). “While this is unfortunate news, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association does not expect this case to affect the beef trade status between the United States and Canada or other countries,” said Terry Stokes, NCBA chief executive officer (CEO). “We believe the United States should continue to engage in trade that is consistent with the international standards outlined by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), and we expect countries that trade with us to do the same.
