The study also found that changes in concentrations of 16 proteins, including clusterin, in the cows' urine allowed researchers to track the progress of BSE. The ability to monitor how the disease develops may be useful if treatments for BSE are eventually developed. The search for a real-time live-animal test has been underway globally since the discovery of BSE almost 20, 30 years ago," said Rob McNabb, general manager of operations for the Canadian Cattlemen's Association. "We're always interested in looking for better ways (to test for disease). A cow in northern Alberta found to have BSE in May 2003 was responsible for stopping Canadian exports of older cattle to the U.S. for almost five years and resulted in dozens of other countries banning Canadian beef.

In May 2003 Canada's Food Inspection Agency announced that a single case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) had been diagnosed in a native bom Canadian cow. In the aftermath of this announcement, the United States closed its border to Canadian beef and live cattle exports. At the time, the United States accounted for nearly all of Canada's live cattle and the majority of its beef exports, so the loss of this market was critical. By September 2003 the border reopened to beef exports from cattle less than 30 months of age, but it would be over two years before cattle under 30 months would be admitted. This article outlines the consequences of the border closure on Canada's cattle industry and considers the obstacles to lessening its dependence upon the US market.

The likelihood of BSE becoming established in the U.S. cattle population by allowing additional commodities from Canada is negligible," said John Clifford, the U.S. Agriculture Department's chief veterinarian. Canada's Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said the announcement will bring some "much needed stability" to North America's beef and cattle trade. The U.S. considers March 1999 to be the date when a feed ban in Canada to halt the spread of the disease became effective, so cows born after that are welcome. The U.S. closed the border in 2003 but resumed trade in July 2005 for Canadian cows younger than 30 months of age.

Most agree that the loonie's burst into parity will take a bite out of farmers' returns. But thanks to booming commodity prices as a result of short supplies and heightened demand from the biofuel sector, they might not even notice. We've waited a long time. It shows the possibility that we might get back to normal pretty soon," Canadian Cattlemen's Association president Hugh Lynch-Staunton told reporters. If there is any good news to emerge from the BSE debacle it is the impact it had on Canada's domestic beef processors. They enjoyed windfall profits in the early BSE days as the demand for packer space drove down market prices, while there was no corresponding decline in consumer prices. Post-BSE analysis found profits for the Big Three -- Cargill, XL Foods and Lakeside -- surged a ...
