BSE case reported in Florida
A new case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), more commonly known as mad cow disease, was reported this week in Florida, the USA, informs Drovers magazine.
It’s the first detection of the deadly disease in the U.S. since July of last year, when BSE was found in an 11-year-old cow in Alabama. Sources say that the infected cow was not slaughtered for human consumption and no meat from the animal entered the human food supply.
US officials say the incidence of BSE in the United States is extremely low. The country currently holds "Negligible BSE Risk" status from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). The infected cow is the sixth confirmed BSE case in the US. A report on the findings is expected later today from the US Department of Agriculture.
