The FDA published a question-and-answer explainer on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), describing it as a progressive neurological disease of cattle linked to scrapie. It notes the epidemic's historical peak in Great Britain and that feeding meat and bone meal to cattle amplified the outbreak.
Feed buyers should note that BSE history is the basis for current feed ban rules on ruminant-derived meat and bone meal. No new outbreak is reported, so there is no direct near-term price impact.
