On the dressed carcass there are no signs of bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE, the scientific name for mad cow disease). However, the signs in live cattle are neurologic -behavior changes, nerve deficits and incoordination between muscle groups. This is why in the United States all cattle of all ages are individually seen while walking prior to slaughter - so inspection personnel can look for these signs on the live cattle and make sure such cattle are not put into the food chain.
