OA show ('918 '); according to the French newspaper Figaro, two Scottish neurobiologists recently proposed that cow dung is another channel to transmit BSE In the completed experiment, the researchers found that the faeces of infected cattle contained BSE factors They think that the cow dung with BSE factor remained on the grassland and polluted the grassland, which made the cattle that ate grass on the grassland later infected with BSE, which is why BSE still did not disappear and decrease even after the prohibition of using animal visceral feed for many years It is reported that although there is no scientific magazine to support their views, the two scientists' theories have earlier research results to prove In 1976, one of them studied the causes of itching in Irish sheep in the 1970s and proposed that "feces also transmit diseases" In order to prevent the spread of the disease, Irish farmers slaughtered all infected sheep and let the grassland in question rest for three years In order to prevent the recurrence of the disease, farmers have imported lambs from New Zealand, which are far away from the disease In fact, these lambs still fail to escape the fate of itching Although the interministerial Committee for the study of the spread of BSE in France has never found any pathogenic factors in the excreta of BSE, the French Ministry of agriculture this week accepted the recommendation of the food safety administration that it decide to ban the use of cattle casings as sausage packaging Jwy (author:)
