| 96-12081 | Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Protein Derived From Ruminants Prohibited in Ruminant Feed | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is soliciting comments on the issue of using protein derived from ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep, goats, mule deer, and elk) in ruminant feed. Animal feed containing protein derived from ruminants may contain the disease agent that causes transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in animals. Epidemiological evidence gathered in the United Kingdom (U.K.) suggests a link between an outbreak of ruminant TSE, specifically bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and feeding animals protein derived from ruminants. In addition information from the U.K. also suggests that exposure to BSE may explain some of the recent cases of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (v-CJD) in the U.K. This action is being taken to protect the health of animals and to reduce any risk which might be faced by humans. FDA is requesting scientific and economic information and other comments relating to the prohibition of ruminant protein in ruminant feed. | 1996-05-14 | 1996 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/05/14/96-12081/substances-prohibited-from-use-in-animal-food-or-feed-protein-derived-from-ruminants-prohibited-in | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-05-14/pdf/96-12081.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is soliciting comments on the issue of using protein derived from ruminants (e.g., cattle, sheep, goats, mule deer, and elk) in ruminant feed.
