Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced on September 13 that the Holstein cow of five years old two month that had been bred in Kumamoto Prefecture had been infected with BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) .
Consumer groups watche the expansion of infection reacting on the BSE infection cow's having been detected for the first time in Kyushu.
A consumer group shows the view with "It is warning to the review of the blanket test on all slaughtered cattle for mad cow disease in Japan" partly because of the infection route's not turning out.
