By putting laws up that restrict and prohibit farmers and feedlot owners from feeding ruminants any feed that has animal by products in it. They also have a law that these people must follow of they find an animal that is suspected of having Mad Cow, by having a mandate that these people report the diseased animal ASAP. Those that do not follow these laws, will be persecuted.

How do cows get mad cow disease?

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.


Evidence that prions were responsible for mad cow disease?

At one time, cattle were fed the unwanted parts of ground up sheep. Some of those cows became infected with mad cow disease. Mad cow disease spread to humans. Cattle were also fed parts of ground up cow parts, cows eating ground up cattle were infected with that disease. The breakthrough came in New Guinea. There, women and children would eat the brains of dead people. Men would not. Women and children would catch a disease similar to mad cow disease. Men would not. That made it obvious that the disease came from something common to women and children and not to men. Since they behaved the same as nearby groups except for eating the brains of dead people, that had to be the difference. The only difference in the brains of the dead people with mad cow disease and those without mad cow disease was the prions. This was then tested in England where mad cow disease was common. The only difference between cows with mad cow disease and those without mad cow disease were the same prions. The people with mad cow disease had the same prions in their brains.


What is the pathogen that causes Mad Cow Disease?

A prion, or misfolded protein caused by genetic mutation.


What are ineffective proteins known as?

They are known as prions and cause many diseases such as Mad Cow Disease and Creutzfelt-Jacob disease.


What is a disease in cattle associated with prions?

One disease of cattle caused by a prion is BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) aka Mad Cow Disease

Do mosquitoes carry mad cow disease?

No, mosquitoes do not carry mad cow disease. Mad cow disease, or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is caused by prions that affect cattle and is not transmitted by insects. The disease primarily spreads through the consumption of infected animal products. Mosquitoes are not involved in the transmission of prion diseases like mad cow disease.
