[QUOTE="Bluestem, post: 219148, member: 3269"] "Somebody, somewhere, or something is causing BSE." All good questions. I wish we would spend some money answering them. Instead of the feel good animal ID idea. Not to steal this thread, but here is a few areas I would be looking into. 1. A better test. Surly we can figure out a way to test live animals and if the animal is infected find it at a younger age. 2. Is BSE transmitted to off-spring? Can it be transmitted to other animals. If so, how. 3. Can the ground be contaminated by an infected animal. And can an animal be infected from that ground. Is the manure from an infected animal safe to be around. 4. They still sell Blood meal and bone meal for use as a fertilizer. If an animal were infected with BSE would the Blood meal and bone meal be safe to use. Will it contaminate the ground? I could go on, but you get the idea. The millons that will be spent every year on Animal ID should be spent on research. [/QUOTE]
