[QUOTE="rk, post: 184232, member: 2993"] Well, there are three lines of thought regarding N.A.I.S. First is do nothing. I believe this one is just not viable option. We have to stand behind our product and instill confidence with the consumer. That can't happen the way we are going. Second is testing for BSE. My question with this is if an animal tests positive, do you stop at simply disposing of it? If so, there is no accountability w/o traceability and the problem w/ BSE may never be fully eliminated. You'll finally have to test for everything that comes along, adding extra cost every time. Third is id and traceability. I foresee this will be tough to implement, but we have to start somewhere and eventually the kinks will be worked out. If a concern arises---BSE, FMD or whatever, we'll have a way to hopefully isolate it quickly. This will minimize the impact on the market and the number of animals that may have to be nspected/quarantined/destroyed. Plus, it may help to identify causative factors. This is the only way to prevent recurrences, and I feel is the best long-term solution. [/QUOTE]
