Before the change in format here at ranchers.net we discussed the disclosure in the NCBA report that 25 animals UTM in EU had tested positive for BSE between 1986 and 1996. You questioned that data saying that those test results had been done using "Rapid Tests" and not the "Gold Standard".
Question: How could those 25 UTM's have tested positive using "Rapid Tests" when the "Rapid Tests" were not even invented and/or used until 1998-1999?
Could this be the reason that the USDA caved to the Japs on age testing?
Note: There are only 3 BSE testing facilities approved by OIE in the world.
1-Japan 2-England 3- Switzerland
And we know more than the Japs?
