[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 219628, member: 2882"] I'll take a crack at that (though you didn't ask. :lol: ) I doubt they're looking very hard for a 'root cause' of BSE, given that incidence rates of BSE are dropping by 50%/year worldwide and have been for quite some time now.. Even with all the loopholes, the feedbans have clearly been effective. Won't be long before everybody involved declares it a non issue -- Asia included. And like I said before, FMD can be prevented with a vaccine.. We don't vaccinate right now because we can call ourselves "FMD free," and it makes us look better.. If we have an FMD outbreak, producers will start vaccinating for it just like they vaccinate for everything else... Personally, I don't think NAIS has much at all to do with traceback, 'herd safety,' or disease control... I think it's got to do with the USDA burying the small, independent cattle raiser in red tape in an effort to consolidate the beef industry into a few big outfits.. It's been happening in chicken and pork for the last several decades; why people don't believe it can happen to beef is beyond me.. Personally, I think it's just a matter of time.. [/QUOTE]
