Canada confirms new case of BSE

by Pete Hisey on 8/23/2006 for Meatingplace.com

Canadian authorities have confirmed the country's 8th case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, this one in an animal believed to be between eight and 10 years old, meaning that it was probably born before the country's feed ban went into effect.

The beef cow was discovered in Alberta, a little more than a month after the 7th case, an animal only 50 months old and born after the ruminant-to-ruminant feed ban was put in place in Canada in 1997. That case was discovered July 13.

Officials at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said that no part of the animal entered the human or animal food supply.
