French Mad Cow Epidemic Went Undetected, Telegraph Reports
July 4 (Bloomberg) -- French researches have concluded that more than 300,000 cows in France contracted bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, between 1980 and June 2000, the Telegraph reported on its Web site.
About 50,000 of the infected animals entered the food chain, the newspaper said, citing a report by researchers at France's Institute of Health and Medical Research. The study, ``The Unrecognized French BSE Epidemic,'' is published in Veterinary Research, the newspaper said.
The number of officially recorded cases of mad cow disease in France over the past 13 years is 923, the newspaper said. British cattle feed containing the rendered carcasses of other animals, believed to be the cause of the disease, was sold in France until 1989, the newspaper said.
The researchers found that the disease was prevalent in French herds during the 1980s and went completely unnoticed, the Telegraph reported. The editors of Veterinary Research had three independent scientists verify the study's findings, the newspaper said.
