After the mad cow disease outbreak, significant measures were taken to control the spread of the disease, including culling infected cattle and implementing strict regulations on cattle feed to prevent the use of animal byproducts. Many countries banned the import and export of beef from affected areas, leading to economic repercussions for the cattle industry. Enhanced surveillance and testing programs were introduced to ensure the safety of the food supply and restore consumer confidence in beef products. Over time, these efforts helped to reduce the incidence of the disease significantly.
