How is BSE spread?

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease, is primarily spread through the consumption of contaminated feed containing infected neural tissue from cattle. It can also be transmitted through direct contact with infected animals or their bodily fluids. Additionally, improper disposal of infected carcasses can lead to environmental contamination, further spreading the disease. Strict regulations and surveillance in cattle farming aim to prevent BSE transmission.
