Cattle Sought For BSE Tests

Alberta Agriculture and the CFIA are encouraging cattle producers to call their veterinarians to collect brain tissue samples to be tested for BSE if they have animals aged 30 to 107 months that are diseased, distressed, down (non-ambulatory) or recently dead, or animals over 30 months of age with neurological signs. The Canada and Alberta BSE Surveillance Program continues to reimburse producers $225 for eligible samples and pay veterinarians for visiting their farms to examine cattle for BSE eligibility and for collection of samples.
