Mad Cow Found In Italy

[Sliverofhope]

ROME (AP) - A 7-year-old cow from a breeding farm in northwestern Italy has tested positive for mad-cow disease.
 
Those results bring to 122 the number of cases detected in Italy since testing began in 2001, the Health Ministry said yesterday.
 
The confirmation of the disease in the animal from Cuneo, an area about 45 miles south of Turin, was Italy's fifth confirmed case this year.
 
The European Union requires tests on cattle older than 30 months destined for slaughter.
