Project Description
The University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory will perform appropriate pathological
evaluations on all dead cattle presented for necropsy and related testing as indicated in support of
the national BSE surveillance program. Procedures shall include obtaining and reviewing the
relevant clinical history for indications of altered neurological function. The brain shall be removed
from all cattle, even those being extremely remote for the disease and examined macroscopically
and microscopically for evidence of spongiform encephalopathy. A sample of brain stem that
includes the obex shall be taken and submitted to the appropriate federal laboratory for the specific
assay for BSE.
