US: Final rule adds layer of protection against BSE - (JAVMA News)
June 4, 2008 – 5:11 pmTo further strengthen existing safeguards against bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a rule amending its regulations to prohibit the use of certain cattle-origin materials in the food or feed of all animals.
Previously the U.S. ruminant feed regulation prohibited the use of certain mammalian-origin proteins in ruminant feed but allowed them in feed for nonruminant animals.
The final rule becomes effective April 27, 2009, one year after publication in the April 25 Federal Register. (The 12-month implementation period is needed to allow the livestock, meat, rendering, and feed industries time to adapt their practices to comply with the new regulation.) In crafting the rule, the FDA considered more than 840 comments it received following publication of the proposed rule Oct. 6, 2005.
