Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is a neurological disorder of bovine that is caused by a prion agent infection of the brain and spinal cord. Another name is Mad Cow Disease. There are two varieties of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. One is classical and the other is atypical. Contaminated meat-and-bone meal, which comes from infected bovine whose body is used to make bovine feed, transfers to the herd that eats this infected feed product. Known organs that contain this prion are spinal cord, brain and ileum. Atypical happens to bovine that are older than eight years, and it has nothing to do with eating the contaminated food product. For no known reason, older bovines can get infected with this disease.
