Nobody really knows.
At this point, only one cow is known to be affected by Mad Cow Disease in the latest case (which was in April of 2012). The other cows from the same herd as the one known to be affected will be tested for the disease as well.
It's not sad cow disease, it's MAD cow disease. Its a brain disease that can cause irrational behavior in cows.
Researchers are not completely sure how cows get mad cow disease, but they believe it comes from certain food that was given to cows. Some of this food contains the remains of dead cows that had the infection causing the cows that are eating it to get the infection. Mad cow disease affects the cows brain causing them to go "mad."
Cows.
they go mad
Mad cow disease happens when the proteins in the brain of cow become misfolded. This is called prion. In simple words all proteins have to be folded before they can function and when some proteins in the brain become misfolded, such a state is called prions (misfolding of proteins) and it results in mad cow disease.
Contaminated feed.
yeh when you had a poo ate it then pooed it back out in a cows mouth which made the cow mad so its madcow disease lols :)
it is newsworthy because it tells you about what would happen if you eat cows
No. Mushrooms and their growth are not affected by any sort of cow feed.
mad cow disease is when cows get it. when the disease is passed on 2 humans, it's called the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. so technically its the same thing, just in different species
Only the nerve cells, yes.
