Western Blot Test Finds BSE-Suspect Cow Positive
USDA confirmed this afternoon that a non-ambulatory Santa Gertrudis cow in Alabama has been confirmed as positive for BSE. In addressing reporters, Chief Veterinary Medical Officer John Clifford said the animal, which the local veterinarian gauged by dentition to be more than 10 years old, was confirmed as positive for BSE using the Western blot test. https://enews.primediabusiness.com/enews/beef/cowcalf_weekly/current

USDA Secretary Mike Johanns met with Japanese leaders on Friday to convince them the U.S. beef supply is safe from Mad Cow Disease. Unfortunately, on Saturday, the day after the meeting, the USDA announced the discovery of another new case of Mad Cow Disease in the U.S. Japan, the top importer of U.S. beef, has recently banned U.S. beef imports, due to concerns over safety of the meat. Despite objections from Japanese and American consumers, the USDA still allows the feeding of blood, slaughterhouse waste, and manure to animals--practices banned in Europe and Japan in order to prevent the spread of the disease. https://www.organicconsumers.org/madcow.htm (https://www.organicconsumers.org/madcow/reassure060313.cfm)
