돼지와 광우병(BSE)-노르웨이,
돼지사료에 육골분 사용
- 돼지도 광우병에 걸릴 수 있는
데 노르웨이는 돼지사료에 육골분을
사용하고 있다.
- 노르웨이는 말, 소, 면양, 염소,
심지어 돼지에서 유래된 육골분을
돼지사료로 사용하고 있다.
- 동물사료에 의한 돼지의 BSE
감염 여부는 입증되지 아니하였으나, Ulleval
hospital의 Jan Maehlen 교수의 실험결과에
의하면 프리온(prion)을 돼지에 주사하였을
때에 광우병 증상이 관찰되었다고 한다.
- 노르웨이는 동물사료에 대해
좀더 신중해야 할 것이라고 Jan Maehlen
교수는 생각하고 있다.

Pigs May Be Susceptible to Mad Cow Disease, Norwegian Feeding
Regulations Not Strict Enough?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M2 Communications - Norwegian pigs are fed bone-meal despite
results
indicating pigs can be infected with mad cow disease (a
transmissible
spongiform encephalopathy, TSE, known as Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy,
BSE).
In 1996, bone-meal was banned in animal fodder as it has been
suspected the
bone-meal was the source of infection for the disease. The ban
includes
fish and horses, but in Norway, bone-meal from horses, cows,
sheep and
goats has been used in pig fodder, despite pigs in laboratories
having been
infected with BSE.
According to Aftenposten, a Norwegian newspaper, even bone-meal
from pigs
is used in pig fodder. Norway however has stricter regulations
for the
production of bone-meal than the EU (European Union).
Although it has not been proven that pigs can obtain BSE from the
fodder,
pigs injected with prions, which cause the disease, did develop
the
disease. According to neuropathology professor Jan Maehlen at
Ulleval
hospital, the results from the laboratory show pigs can be
infected and
there is cause for caution. Maehlen thinks Norway should be much
more
careful with the animal fodder.
