Introduction: Xinhua Finance, Beijing, Nov 16 - the French food safety administration has asked the government to expand the ban on the sale of mutton, banning the sale of mutton in farms where "mad sheep disease" has occurred, on the grounds that the sheep in these farms may be infected with "mad cow disease" and endanger human health The proposal said that according to relevant research, sheep infected with "mad Goat Disease" may have special gene composition, which greatly increases the probability of sheep infected with "mad Goat Disease" France's Ministry of agriculture refused to immediately comment on the recommendations of the food safety and health administration on the same day "Mad sheep disease" is commonly known as "pruritus of sheep" It was found in sheep flocks in Britain and Europe more than 250 years ago It is a fatal infectious disease for both sheep and goats But "mad sheep disease" is different from "mad cow disease", the main difference is that "mad cow disease" kills people through its variant "Keya's disease", and so far the so-called "mad sheep disease" has no such danger To protect the health interests of consumers, in October last year, the European Union stipulated that all sheep born more than 12 months after slaughter, their heads, spleen and spine should not enter the food chain (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
