Response...Are you implying that government testing has not found any animals infected with BSE? Have a great day.

I would ask why governments are so afraid of private businesses/citizens using the same tests as they are. If someone wants to spend the money on "useless" tests or "useless" candidates, it should be their perogative.

It might help save taxpayers money and then if needed, the Government could confirm the results. Might bring a little more transparency to this whole issue! and end some of the conspiracy theories of Government hiding things.

When everyone is looking ,alot more can be verified to be free of BSE and catch the infected ONES.

No, but I am implying that no government program I know of is as efficient and transparent as a private one.

You'd probably have to establish an "OFF-SHORE" tesing facility.

Has anybody tried buying from Prionics or any other company? What was their response?

:lol: I have to laugh. I could just hear them giggling if my country-ass called to order a test-kit.

Could it be that USDA is in the pocket of BIG business and not producers? And oh by the way, money talks. Figure it out boys.

NO WAY! Not "OUR" beloved USDA. They would never side with corporate interests over the producers. Surely you're joking! :lol:
