BSE Case Detected in South Carolina

The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced last week that an atypical case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) was found in a 5-year-old cow during routine surveillance. A radio frequency identification tag was found on the cow that traced back to a ranch in Tennessee. A thorough investigation will be conducted by USDA APHIS to determine how this happened.
