Nel 2010 per la prima volta non si è verificato negli allevamenti italiani no cases of mad cow disease, confirming the effectiveness of preventive measures taken during the ten years since the beginning of the emergency in 2001 when 50 cases were discovered .
E 'as is emersonel course of "Mad Cow : Ten Years Later", promoted by Coldiretti and the Foundation UniVerde March 9, ten years after the launch of the national-emergency measures, which confirmed the absolute guarantee of security of Italian meat.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), the so-called syndrome of "mad cow" , Is diagnosed for the first time on a farm in Britain in 1985 and some years after the meat and bone meal used as feed for animal feed, are identified as the cause of the epidemic after having long been largely sponsored by the scientific world. "This was the demonstration that science is not infallible and that, when it comes to food issues, proceed with caution to avoid irreparable damage," said Sergio Marini, president of the Coldiretti in stressing that the "mad cow was a Previous crucial to the success of the precautionary principle in the introduction of new technologies alimentare che di fatto ha contribuito ad evitare contaminazioni da Ogm (Organismi Geneticamente Modificati) nell’agricoltura italiana”.
Dalla Gran Bretagna dove si sono verificati centinaia di migliaia di casi negli allevamenti la malattia è stata “esportata” in tutta Europa nonostante i provvedimenti cautelativi adottati dall’Unione Europea . Il primo caso di mucca pazza in Italiaviene individuato il 16 gennaio 2001 e riguarda una vacca di circa 6 anni di età, macellata l'11 gennaio che proviene da un allevamento del bresciano. L'animale era stato sottoposto ad esame nell'ambito del programma di screening di massa sugli animali superiori ai trenta slaughtered months, effective from January 1, 2001 and the Minister of Health decides to kill all the animals from the herd where the cow was found with the disease January 17, 2001. In that year 50 cases are found in Italy, a very low number compared with other European countries, however, will not fail to cause profound effects on almost one hundred thousand farms in Italy because of the drastic drop in consumption. Promptly, at a press conference on emergency "mad cow" disease, Coldiretti submit its proposal to the Government of a comprehensive plan for the livestock and Italian initiatives in support of mobilization. The contents of special intervention di rigenerazione del patrimonio zootecnico da approvare con la massima urgenza sono finalizzati a garantire la sicurezza alimentare, ad avviare una riforma strutturale e organica del settore e ad assicurare la trasparenza dell'informazione.
Dopo dieci anni la Bse è di fatto scomparsa dagli allevamenti italiani per l'efficacia delle misure adottate per far fronte all'emergenza come - sottolinea la Coldiretti - il monitoraggio di tutti gli animali macellati di età a rischio, il divieto dell'uso delle farine animali nell'alimentazione del bestiame e l'eliminazione degli organi a rischio Bse dalla catena alimentare. Per le misure di sorveglianza “attiva” sono stati spesi dal 2001 to present more than 6 million tests funded by the Italian at a cost estimated around over 100 million euro.
