Lead: scientists at the University of gdingen in Germany have recently developed a method to detect whether cattle are infected with BSE by detecting live bovine serum This is a major breakthrough in BSE detection technology, according to the University Research Institute's press release The results were developed by researchers such as Professor Bertram blanigh of the Institute of animal medicine at the University of gdingen in collaboration with a biotechnology company in the United States The news release didn't specify the detection method, but revealed that scientists found a unique genetic material in the serum of cattle infected with BSE, while there was no such material in healthy cattle The detection of this specific material can determine whether cattle have BSE At present, when testing BSE, countries usually need to get brain marrow samples after slaughtering cattle for testing This method has high cost and low efficiency, so many countries are studying the technology of detecting BSE without killing live cattle Some scientists have said that they have developed such technologies, but no details have been released, and these technologies have not been widely used Professor blanigh said the new technology they developed is safe and practical, but it still needs to be proved by experiments It is also reported that the U.S company cooperating with the University of gdingen has begun to apply for a patent for the technology.
