Currently the main effect is that countries that have confirmed cases of BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the scientific name for mad cow disease) have severe restrictions against exporting live cattle and beef products to other countries. In the adjustment to controlling the spread of BSE, the beef industry had to institute strict controls over certain tissues (brain, spinal cord, distal ileum [last segment of the small intestines], spinal column, skull, eyes, trigeminal ganglion, dorsal root ganglion and the tonsils) to ensure that the tissues that can carry the prion are not introduced into the human food chain. This is closely monitored by USDA FSIS. Also, the brain and spinal cord from cattle over 30 months of age must be segregated for rendering purposes, which is under the control of the FDA. Finally, certain cheap sources of protein are no longer available for feed formulation because ruminant-source proteins cannot be fed back to ruminants.
