What changes are being made to Canadas animal feed ban?
• Feed restrictions are universally recognized as the critical measure to contain the spread of BSE. • The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is enhancing the existing feed ban by requiring the removal and redirection of specified risk materials (SRM) from all animal feed, pet food and fertilizers. SRM are tissues that have been shown in infected cattle to contain concentrated levels of the BSE agent.
