United Kingdom proposes to raise BSE testing age
to 48 months

The United Kingdom (UK) is seeking comments on a proposal to raise the BSE testing age for cattle to 48 months from the current testing age of 30 months. Producers applauded the decision, saying it would reduce costs on ranchers. Cattle from the UK over 30 months of age that meet market requirements will no longer be discounted because of their age.
