Since the likelihood of finding BSE in animals under 20 months is nil, with the currently approved USDA/CFIA tests, do you support allowing companies like Creekstone to test any animals they see fit to test?
Porker: Perhaps you would care to NAME the urine and blood tests for BSE that have been approved for use anywhere in the world!!!!!!!!!!

Cowsense, you know darn well that there are no tests currently approved for testing of urine and/or blood (any that can be reproduced effectively anyway at a level of confidence that exceeds 99% continuously)- but that may soon change. We are still moving ahead with our validation program and will do all we can to become the first in the great "anywhere' to be approved. It is only a matter of progressing through the next two years starting this year. We may have enough convincing data well before the two year test period is up and we will certainly be presenting our case data to the EU and the OIE and EFSA. It will take a mountain of convincing data but we are confident that we can deliver.

Big Muddy rancher said:Tester I am glad you cleared that up for us becasue many on here talk about useing the live test. It would be great to have a live test but as yet there is not one available for use.
Rod go ahead and test your herd , it would lower the cattle numbers in Canada. A little bit anyway.
