Canada confirms another case of BSE

On Aug. 15, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, in a 6-year-old beef cow from Alberta.

CFIA has identified the animal's birth farm and is investigating the case, which was detected through Canada's national BSE surveillance program.

No part of the animal entered the human or animal feed supply. Canada remains a Controlled Risk country for BSE.
