More herds quarantined in Canadian BSE scare
Investigators placed four more Canadian farms under quarantine, including three involving feed production, in a widening search for the cause of North America’s first case of mad cow disease in a decade.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said 13 farms were now under quarantine - eight in Alberta, where the recent case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, was found – two in Saskatchewan to the east and three in British Columbia to the west.
