Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this mad cow disease or BSE is generally contracted through the feeding of green meal derived from infected rendered animals. It is like a protein to which wildlife in the North have no access. So we do not monitor the animals as such. All the domestic animals that we have, like I say, are very minimal and we are told that they are not being fed this product. Thank you.
