Bovine Spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a chronic, degenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system of cattle. It is commonly called Mad Cow Disease. Evidence suggests that certain contaminated cattle feed ingredients are the source of BSE infection in cattle. The process that leads to contaminated feed starts when livestock already harboring the BSE agent are slaughtered. After cows and sheep are killed, the edible parts are removed. The inedible remnants are taken to a special plant where they undergo a process called rendering. Two major products are created:
fat, which is used in an array of products (such as soap, lipstick, linoleum, and glue)
meat-and-bone meal, a powdery, high-protein supplement that is often processed into animal feed.
Although the animal remnants are “cooked” at high temperatures during the rendering process, the BSE agent, if present, is able to survive. When this contaminated meat-and-bone meal is fed to cattle as a protein supplement, the BSE agent can be passed onto many new cattle. It is believed that is how BSE spread through the U.K. cattle herds. Currently, no test can reliably detect BSE in live cattle. A diagnosis is confirmed by examining brain tissue after death.
Mad Cow DiseaseSlide20
In the U.K. there has been a disease spreading through the cattle called Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease. This is a degenerative disease that affects their central nervous system. Evidence suggests that the source of BSE is from the inedible remnants of infectious livestock entering the cattle feed. Before entering the feed, these remnants are removed from cattle and sheep and taken to a plant where they undergo a process called rendering. From the plants, two major products are created:
animal fat, which is used in a wide range of products (such as soap, lipstick, linoleum, and glue)
a meat-and-bone meal that is often processed into animal feed for high protein
The animal remnants are then cooked to remove any diseases, but even at high temperatures the BSE agent survives. When the cattle eat this feed, they are likely to get contaminated. As humans, we can get sick by consuming meat that has been contaminated. Unfortunately, once the cattle are infected the only way of knowing they carry the disease is by examining their brain tissue after death.
