News EditorAnimal Health, International

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed on Tuesday a case of BSE in a 6-year-old dairy cow from Alberta. The animal’s carcass is under CFIA control, and no part of it entered the human food or animal feed system. The age and location of the infected cow are consistent with previous cases in Canada, and this case will not affect Canada’s Controlled Risk country status, as recognized by the World Organization for Animal Health.
