> Cattle Update: BSE Case Confirmed In British Columbia
> OTTAWA, November 17, 2008 - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)
> has
> confirmed bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in a seven-year-old
> dairy cow
> from British Columbia. No part of the animal’s carcass entered the human
> food or animal feed systems.
> The animal’s birth farm has been identified, and an investigation is
> underway. The CFIA is tracing the animal's herdmates at the time of birth
> and
> examining possible sources of infection. The age and location of the

> animal are consistent with previous cases detected in Canada.
> This case was detected through the national BSE surveillance program,
> which
> has been highly successful in demonstrating the low level of BSE in
> Canada.
> The program continues to play an important role in Canada’s strategy to
> manage
> BSE.
> Canada remains a Controlled Risk country for BSE, as recognized by the
> World
> Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). Accordingly, this case should not
> affect exports of Canadian cattle or beef.
