The World Organisation for Animal Health has decided that atypical BSE cases no longer need to be compulsorily reported, while classic BSE reporting remains mandatory. Classic BSE is now virtually nonexistent worldwide, and atypical cases are random occurrences in older cattle.
Removing atypical BSE from notifiable disease lists should ease beef trade restrictions, notably for exporters to China, supporting cattle and beef demand and modestly improving trade flows for feeder and live cattle markets.
