A 13th "Mad Cow" Found In Canada's British Columbia

The Land, a publication of Farmonline, is reporting on Canada's 13th "Mad Cow" discovery.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced Monday afternoon that it has confirmed the country's 13th case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in a cow in the western province of British Columbia.

The government agency said the confirmation posed no threat to humans or other animals.

No part of the animal entered the human food chain. The animal was detected through Canada's national BSE surveillance program.

The CFIA has launched a comprehensive investigation in an effort to determine the birth farm of the animal.

In Canada the national surveillance program has tested more than 220,000 cattle since 2003. All cattle found with BSE have been detected in western Canada.
