Contaminated Feed Likely Lead To Mad Cow Case
Canada's food safety watchdog says a small amount of leftover
contaminated feed was the most plausible cause of mad cow disease
discovered in a cow last winter on an Alberta farm.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency released a report yesterday
that says no part of the Black Angus beef cow entered the human food
or animal feed systems.
The report says no significant events could be linked to the
discovery near Edmonton and no other sick animals were found.
The February case __ the 19th in Canada __ prompted a few countries
to place temporary restrictions on Canadian beef imports.
Canada's Stephane Dion and his 27 NATO counterparts are also
discussing the military alliance's future role in Afghanistan and
how to fund the country's fledgling security forces.
It's expected they will approve an extended deployment of
12,000 trainers and advisers past 2016.
Ministers are also being asked to approve a plan to raise
$4 billion a year from the international community to fund
Afghan security forces up to 2020.
Canada no longer has training troops in Afghanistan, but the
Harper government made a $330 million funding commitment in
2012 that would last until 2017.
