29th BSE case suspected in Japan
by Pete Hisey on 9/27/2006 for Meatingplace.com
An animal found dead on a farm on the far-north island of Hokkaido in Japan tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy in initial tests, and samples were sent to the Ishikiri Livestock Hygiene Service Center for further testing.
Results are expected by the end of the week. No age or other description of the animal was released, but if confirmed, it will be the country's 29th case of BSE since the first was discovered in 2001.
