| | SFVO BSE: a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) |
| | TSE in sheep and goats: Spread and epidemiology | | | On the basis of epidemiological studies, it was found that infection with BSE is attributable to feeding with meat and bone meal (MBM) which originated from animals infected with BSE and which had been insufficiently heated. | | | “Mad cow disease” or BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) belongs to a group of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). |

| | Statement of Probable Case of BSE in Washington State |
| | BSE does not spread naturally from adult cow to adult cow. | | | Concerning the safety of milk, the scientific data indicate that milk from BSE cows does not transmit BSE. | | | This regulation prohibits the feeding of most mammalian protein to ruminant animals such as cows, sheep and goats - the route of disease transmission that led to the epidemic of BSE in the United Kingdom, beginning in the 1980’s. |

| | No BSE infectivity has been detected in milk or muscle tissue, which is what we eat as beef. | | | Thus, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), milk and milk products, such as yogurt, ice cream or cheese can be consumed safely, even in countries with high incidence of BSE. | | | According to the FDA, most food-grade gelatin in the U.S. comes from the hides of pork, which are not associated with BSE, but can be derived from cattle bones and hides. |

| | Mad Cow Disease Information: Q & A About BSE |
| | Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or BSE, is the appropriate name of a fatal brain disease known to exist in beef and dairy cattle in the United Kingdom (the UK includes England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales). | | | Scientific evidence indicates that beef (meat) and milk do not present a risk to people as there is no evidence the agent that causes BSE is present in meat and milk. | | | Scientific evidence indicates that BSE cannot be transmitted from infected cattle to humans through physical contact or consumption of beef or dairy products. |

| | BSE statistics |
| | Perhaps it is because some of the cases of BSE are derived from cattle that were fed infected feed when very young and perhaps others are infected when fed it as milking cattle producing milk when older. | | | Considering the amount of meat and bone meal that was exported by the UK during the epidemic rise of BSE it is not clear how this can have been all of the cause for difference in case numbers between different countries. | | | Age distribution of cattle in the UK Data for this were difficult to get hold of and were derived from figures of the meat and lifestock commission (maily having data for younger cattle) and the milk marketing board (mainly having information concerning the number of older cattle). |

| | Since 1989, when the first BSE case was reported outside the UK, relatively small numbers of BSE cases (in total 3286) have also been reported in native cattle in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland. | | | Since the introduction of monitoring programmes to detect BSE in dead and slaughtered cattle, 12 countries have found their first native case (Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain). | | | However, in 1999 the European Union (EU) lifted the ban for meat fulfilling specific requirements; for example, de-boned beef from animals from farms where there have been no cases of BSE and where the animals are less than 30 months of age at slaughter. |
