USDA Scales Back Mad-Cow Testing
By LIBBY QUAID , 07.20.2006, 10:37 AM

The Agriculture Department is scaling back its testing program for mad cow disease to about one-tenth of what it has been for the past 2 1/2 years.

Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said there is little justification for the current level, which rose to about 1,000 tests a day after the first U.S. case of mad cow disease in 2003.

The new level will be around 110 tests per day.

"It's time that our surveillance efforts reflect what we now know is a very, very low level of BSE in the United States," Johanns said.
