Animal Feed Testing (VLA)
|
|
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) has been linked to the feeding of mammalian meat and bone meal to cattle. As a result of this practice, legislation was introduced to ban the feeding of some processed animal proteins (PAPs) to animals to act as an important control measure preventing the spread of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). VLA offers three diagnostic tests to support the existing quality monitoring and to provide reassurance on the integrity of rations and feed ingredients which outlined in this leaflet. Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA), 2009.

It is written in such a way as to be capable of dealing with a major disease outbreak which could be spread widely across Scotland, or equally a more limited outbreak. The plan outlines disease response assumptions, disease management, headquarter structures, field operations, communications and resources. SEERAD October 2005. Asset includes Annex 3: Advice for Poultry Keepers November 2005.
