Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy -- Latest Information

The CFIA's animal investigation is complete. A total of 156 cattle from the affected animal’s birth cohort were identified and traced. All animals were accounted for and no additional cases of BSE were detected.

The feed investigation is nearing conclusion. A final analysis of records collected at the farm, retail and mill levels is underway.

In keeping with previous findings of BSE in Canada, the CFIA will prepare and publicly release a report summarizing the full results of the investigation.
