which had symptoms similar to those typical of BSE, was tested and the test was positive. Additional tests will be run in Switzerland, But told reporters. Some of the nine cows from the farm where the diseased cow was raised had been imported but it is also suspected the cows were fed with bone meal after it was banned a year ago. The final results of the Swiss test will be known by the end of this week or early next week, But said.(hina) rml
