Another BSE Case Found in Canada- Number 18
Fri, 04 Mar 2011 6:30:58 CSTA number of news outlets in Canada are reporting that "the national BSE surveillance system has confirmed a six-year old Alberta dairy cow as Canada's first case of BSE in almost a year. The 77-month-old animal was confirmed Feb. 18 to have had the brain-wasting disease, making it Canada's 18th domestic case since 2003." We have yet to see official confirmation of the disease because since August 2009, all disease events in Canada are reported in a monthly update, which is not due for release until March 10. The new case also does not appear in the OIE weekly updates, presumably because the Canadian official announcement has yet to be made.
For more on this report from Canada- the Daily Livestock Report from the CME has additional details and some discussion about the implications for the US cattle industry.
