Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy

Good Knowledge Is Good2Use

There has never been any evidence of any prion being transmitted through milk. Although, we don't know if prions can occur in the milk of a cow with BSE, there is very good epidemiologic evidence that this is not a route of transmission. For example, if the BSE prion was transmitted in cow s milk, wouldn't we expect to see BSE in calves fed on such milk? There are solid data from the UK that such calves have not become infected.
