    World Animal Health Organization said yesterday, Canadian authorities reported, "an 8-year-old half-Alberta beef appear 'atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease)"
    .
     
    The World Organisation for Animal Health, headquartered in Paris, quoted a report from the Canadian authorities stating that the body of the beef cattle did not enter the human food or animal feed chain
    .
    This discovery should not affect the Canadian animal/beef product market
    .

     
    The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) pointed out in a statement that atypical strains occur naturally and sporadically in all cattle herds at a very low rate, and the disease usually involves only elderly cattle
    .
    The authorities are currently taking measures to prevent the spread of mad cow disease from entering the food system
    .

     
    The last confirmed case of mad cow disease in Canada was in 2015, and the sick cow was born in 2009
    .
     
    Canada’s first case of mad cow disease was discovered in a cattle farm in Alberta in 2003.
    The outbreak resulted in the temporary closure of approximately 40 export markets, causing a "serious blow" to Canadian exports
    .
     
    Later, with the help of the World Organization for Animal Health, the international risk profile of mad cow disease in Canada was improved and new export markets were opened
    .
     
    Since the disease was first discovered in the UK in 1985, it has since spread all over the world, posing a huge threat to the cattle industry, the catering industry and the safety of human lives
    .
    The mid-1980s to the mid-1990s was its outbreak period
    .
    For more than 20 years, mad cow disease has spread to 31 countries in Europe, America and Asia, and more than 100 countries have been implicated by mad cow disease, causing huge economic losses and social panic
    .
     
    As of 2004, 179,000 cattle have been diagnosed in the UK alone, involving 35,181 farms
    .
    More than 11 million sick cattle were slaughtered and burned, and the economic loss reached tens of billions of pounds
    .
