Latest Information (as of April 25, 2006 - 15:00 EST)
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) continues to trace cattle that may have been exposed to the same feed as the affected animal.
To date, 19 animals have been located and will be tested in the coming days. Based on international experience and previous North American investigations, finding additional cases of BSE in these animals is unlikely.
Following the recommendations of the World Organization for Animal Health, investigators are also tracing the affected animal’s most recently born offspring.
The CFIA has identified a number of feed sources used on the affected animal’s birth farm. The formulation, production, transportation and storage of these feeds are under review.
