Researchers call for autoclaves to prevent mad cow disease

Introduction: the infectious substances that cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) can be effectively suppressed by autoclaving whole bone meal, a famous researcher of the National Institutes of Health told reporters in Washington last week At the panel discussion, Dr Paul Brown, senior researcher of the central nervous system disease laboratory of the National Institutes of health, said that if the infectious substance prion which causes BSE is killed under high pressure of 134 ° F, its activity can be effectively inhibited He believes that the United States should formulate relevant regulations to apply high-pressure disinfection to the whole bone meal feed Dr Brown also wrote a number of BSE scientific papers with the same view, presenting scientific arguments that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) will not occur in the United States, because the United States, from the government to producers, is preventing possible infections He said that the high-pressure disinfection technology can be used to prevent the spread of BSE virus, just like the health disinfection technology used in brain surgery in hospitals Another person in charge said that the oil refining industry in the United States also uses high-temperature technology, but because of the high cost and the fact that mad cow disease has not been found in the United States at present, many processing plants are reluctant to accept the relevant regulations of high-pressure disinfection The proposal was also specifically discussed at the BSE Symposium of the annual meeting of Agricultural Journalists in North America (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
