Routine surveillance uncovers additional case of BSE in CanadaCanada has been surveilling animals for BSE at levels above those recommended by international animal health authorities. Last year, Canada tested 57,768 animals, and in the first three months of 2006 has tested nearly 17,000. The purpose of the surveillance program is to measure the level of BSE in the Canadian cattle herd. Other measures, such as removal of specified risk materials from all cattle slaughtered, ensure food safety. While the animal was born after the introduction of the feed ban, almost every country with BSE has found and continues to find a few cases born after the introduction of feed controls. Date: 4/19/06
