Mad Cow Disease in France
France: Officials have begun to test all cattle(1) over 30 months old for mad cow disease. Agriculture Minister Jean Glavany says falling demand for beef (2) has created a crisis in French farm industry. He says this is why he began the testing program six months before a European Union time limit of July 1st. EU agriculture ministers last month ordered the testing after France and some other member countries found new cases of the disease. The European Union has also banned the use of meat and bone meal as animal feed(3). Experts believe this feed has been the main way for disease has spread.

法國(guó)消息：法國(guó)官方已經(jīng)開(kāi)始了對(duì)所有30個(gè)月大的牛進(jìn)行瘋牛病檢查。農(nóng)業(yè)部長(zhǎng)格拉瓦尼表示牛肉需求的持續(xù)下降使法國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)陷入危機(jī)。他說(shuō)這就是為什么他們?cè)跉W盟七月一日的期限之前的6個(gè)月開(kāi)始實(shí)施這一測(cè)試方案的原因。在法國(guó)和其它聯(lián)盟國(guó)家發(fā)現(xiàn)此疾病的新病例后，農(nóng)業(yè)部長(zhǎng)上個(gè)月下令要進(jìn)行此項(xiàng)測(cè)試。歐盟同時(shí)也禁止了用牛肉和牛骨頭作為動(dòng)物飼料。專家們相信這種飼料是瘋牛病傳播的主要途徑。
