CFIA Testing Inconclusive Potential Canadian BSE Sample



WINNIPEG (Dow Jones)--The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is currently running tests on an inconclusive sample from a mature Canadian animal, that may or may not prove to be the country's latest case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or mad cow disease, a CFIA spokesman confirmed late Tuesday.



CFIA media relations officer Alain Charette confirmed that a sample coming from a mature animal had been tested in a provincial lab. The provincial tests came back inconclusive for BSE, so the sample has been sent on to the CFIA for further testing, he said.



The testing is ongoing, and Charette said the CFIA will make an announcement once the final results are known. The length of time to conduct the test will depend on the quality of the sample, and could take anywhere from 48 hours to many days, he said.



Charette couldn't provide any further details regarding the animal in question or the province it came from.

Better send another cheque to Billings. :D

Actually Tim, this doesn't thrill me...The hard to diagnose of an inconclusive kind of has the signs of another one of those old "atypicals" if it comes back positive- and I think my number in the Canuck Mad Cow of the Month pool is 73 (months) :wink:

Maybe the RCALF'ers are planning their next foresightful (is that a word) move. Their press release in the next couple of days, on this, will catch them once again in a political bind. Just my opinion!
