> Cattle  Update: BSE Case Confirmed In British Columbia

> from  British Columbia. No part of the animal’s carcass entered the human

> The  animal’s birth farm has been identified, and an investigation is

> This  case was detected through the national BSE surveillance program,

> Canada.
> The program  continues to play an important role in Canada’s strategy to

> Canada  remains a Controlled Risk country for BSE, as recognized by the
