    open question BSE

    Does anyone know that when a cow tests positive for BSE if BSE will show up in her calves?

    Experience in the UK seems to show that the vast majority of BSE infected cows do not produce calves that will develop BSE even if they are kept until 7 or 8 years old. There have been cases of parent and daughter testing positive for BSE (certainly less than 1 in 100, maybe closer to 1 in a 1000?)On the strength of this they have not been able to rule out maternal transmission.
