Introduction: a cow suspected of BSE in Chiba County, Japan has been diagnosed with BSE by the British Veterinary Research Institute According to Kyodo news agency, citing government agencies, the cow had previously been tested by the Japanese Institute of animal health and was suspected of suffering from mad cow disease In order to test the results, the Institute sent the medulla oblongata section of the cow and the brain tissue treated with formalin to London The results of the Japanese Institute of animal health were confirmed to be correct after the British Veterinary Institute used microscope and antibody tests After the problem cow was found, Japan's Ministry of agriculture and forestry said it had been burned But news media said the rest of the beef head has been made into meat and bone meal by a factory, which provides it to feed processing plants all over the country to make feed It is believed that the results of this validation by the UK Veterinary Institute will have a considerable negative impact on milk and beef consumption in Japan.
