Based on this new research, if just one infected cow entered the US feed supply and the brain and spinal cord of that animal were maximally dispersed in feed, it could potentially infect 45,000 other cows. That's why we have to be extremely vigilant about keeping any infected animal material out of feed and food.

The Western blot test, which concentrates the brain sample, can detect mad cow disease in an animal at an earlier stage of infection. It is used in virtually all European countries and Japan.
No hunter should eat anything until after an animal has been tested. This finding, along with reports last year that CWD can move into primates, should raise some serious questions for hunters.
We must also increase the USDA surveillance program, which is testing just one percent of all animals slaughtered in the United States. We think USDA should be testing all animals over 20 months at slaughter. But at a minimum, USDA should test all high-risk cattle, and all cattle from Western Canada, from the Pacific Northwest and from Texas, where cases have been identified.
