The Scottish Government described the case as ‘isolated’ and said it did not pose a risk to human health.
An investigation is under way after a case of BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease, was confirmed on a farm in Ayrshire.
The animal did not enter the human food chain and the owners are working with authorities on next steps and were praised for their quick response. Food Standards Scotland have confirmed there is no risk to human health and described it as an “isolated case” which is being probed by the Animal Plant and Health Agency .
“I want to thank the animal’s owner for their diligence. Their decisive action has allowed us to identify and isolate the case at speed which has minimised its impact on the wider industry.”
