Investigators are also unsure where that cow, which was euthanized and buried after it fell sick, may have fed. This is crucial because the disease is believed to be spread in cattle feed carrying infected brain, bone or spinal tissue from other cows. Any cow that ate from the same troughs could be sick, too. According to research by New York biologist Michael Hansen, it takes less than a milligram of infected...
