Second BSE-Positive Cow Identified in the United
States
On June 24, 2005, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
announced receipt of final results from The Veterinary
Laboratories Agency in Weybridge, England, confirming BSE
in a cow that had conflicting test results in 2004.
No parts of the animal entered the human and animal food
supply. As a result of this BSE positive animal, the USDA
plans to develop a new laboratory testing protocol to evaluate
future inconclusive BSE screening test results.
