LJUBLJANA, Jan 18 (Hina) - The Slovene Veterinary Service will soon eliminate almost a quarter of 40 heads of cattle on a farm near Ormos where mad cow's disease has erupted. After the first case of BSE was confirmed by a centre in
Bern, the Veterinary Service issued a statement saying it would be killing all cows on the farm which are the same age as the infected cow, as well as the infected cow's calves. Agriculture Minister Franci But suggested that the Skoliber family, which owns the farm, and lives off milk production exclusively, be given by the state a new herd of cattle and thus be compensated for the loss caused by the illness and the ban on stock traffic from the farm.(hina) lml sb
