Ministry Blames Contaminated Feed For Domestic BSE Cases
Japan’s seven 2001 cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in its domestic herd were probably caused by contamination in the feed production process, a draft report from Japan’s agriculture ministry concludes.
The draft said that prions, the abnormal proteins that are suspected of transmitting BSE, were at some point mixed into meat-and-bone meal feed at five processing centers around the country, although it is unclear where the contaminated prions originated. Japan bans feeding ruminant products to ruminants, but some meat and bone meal derived from ruminants could have been left over from earlier manufacture of feed for chickens or hogs.

USMEF has completed a market opportunity report for pork on Dual Purpose Cuts For The Russian Market in both the processing and retail sectors. Monty Brown, USMEF pork consultant to Russia and Europe, has completed a pilot study that concludes U.S. pork exporters to Russia can increase profits and add value to the pork carcass by developing cuts that serve a dual purpose — marketed as both cuts for processing and manufacturing and as retail "certified" cuts.
Click here to view the full USMEF study about how U.S. pork exporters can leverage dual purpose pork cuts in Russia to maximize pork carcass value and increase profit returns. For more information, please contact Jackie Hruby, USMEF Director - Europe, Russia and the Middle East, at jhruby@usmef.org or Monty Brown at montybrown@aol.com.
