LJUBLJANA, Jan 10 (Hina) - The second case of mad cow's disease has been discovered in Slovenia, Agriculture Minister Franci But and Veterinary Administration director Zoran Kovac said in Ljubljana on Thursday. The country's
veterinary authorities have ordered a ban on trading cattle from the private farm the infected cow comes from, but will probably not decide on radical measures, including the extermination of the herd, but on observing the animals and their health. The European Union's veterinary direction has recommended a stricter control in cattle feed trade and manufacturing after the first BSE case was discovered in Slovenia late last year.(hina) ha sb
