[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 57361, member: 245"] U.S. data on beef production vary according to farms Tuesday, December 7 (Kyodo) _ A mission sent by the Japanese government to analyze measures to prevent mad cow disease in North America presented a report Tuesday indicating the need to substantially limit beef imports from the United States even when Japan removes a ban on them, government officials said. Data on slaughtered cows were found to vary greatly from farm to farm in the United States, they said. The mission visited farms and other cow-related facilities in Alberta, Canada, and the U.S. state of Kansas from Nov. 29 until Friday in order to gather data to help the government decide whether to remove an import ban on beef from the United States and Canada imposed after the discovery of mad cow disease in the two countries. Planning to allow imports of beef only from cows slaughtered when they were 20 months old or younger, the government requires accurate data on the age of cows as a condition for lifting the ban. The mission found that Canada has a nationwide system to trace each cow while the accuracy and storage of data on beef production in the United States vary greatly in accordance with farms in the absence of a uniform recording system. Based on the mission report, a farm ministry official said that while resumption of full-scale beef imports from Canada is highly likely if necessary conditions are met, imports of American beef will be substantially limited even when the ban is removed unless accurate production data become available. The mission consisted of officials from the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Cabinet Office's Food Safety Commission.
