Abstract
Milk Replacers and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in Calves, Japan
Highlights
To the Editor: Milk replacers produced from a specific feed factory in Japan were suspected of being associated with a cluster of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) infection in calves
Because no BSEinfected calves were born in 1997 and 1998, we considered that those born in 1995 and 1996 formed an independent temporal cluster (Figure)
Our results indicated that the use of the milk replacers produced by the specific factory was associated with BSE infection
