Brainparts, extracted from cowheads are tested at the German Eurofins Scientific BSE-Test GmbH in Garching near Munich, November 22, 2000. EU farm ministers agreed at a meeting in Brussels to extend cattle testing to all cattle at risk aged over 30 months. This could be expanded to all cattle destined for the food chain over that age. BSE can cause the deadly Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease in humans via the food chain.
