Canada Has Another Case of Mad Cow Disease, CFIA Source Confirms

OTTAWA (CP) - Canada has another case of mad cow disease, a source at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed.
The agency has called a news conference in Edmonton for 9 a-m local time, where the positive test result is expected to be confirmed.
What had been termed as "a suspicious animal" was sent to a Winnipeg lab on the weekend for final tests.
There's no indication any part of the animal entered the human-food or animal-feed systems.
Canada's beef and dairy cattle breeding industry has been shut out of the United States since B-S-E was discovered in an Alberta cow in May, 2003.
The Americans did, however, reopen their border to young Canadian cattle last July.
The mad cow crisis is estimated to have cost Canada's cattle industry more than $7 billion.
