Japan finds 30th BSE caseTOKYO (AP)--Japan's Agriculture Ministry said Nov. 13 that it confirmed that a cow from northern Japan had the country's 30th case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Tests on the five-year-old dairy cow performed at the National Institute of Animal Health confirmed that the cow, which died at a ranch on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, was infected with the fatal illness. The animal will be destroyed and incinerated so its parts won't be circulated for consumption or used as feed, the ministry said. Japan has now confirmed 30 animals infected with the fatal illness since the first case in Japan was detected in 2001. Date: 11/20/06
