It is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that causes holes in the brain. This disease is untreatable and always ends in death. Prions are the main source of this disease, and only enters into a bovine by it consuming feed that is contaminated with prions. Often feed is contaminated by using animal by product that comes from a cow with BSE that is rendered and put into the food chain.
