*** TEXAS CWD, Have you been ThunderStruck, deer semen, straw bred bucks, super ovulation, and the potential TSE Prion connection, what if? ***

"Those higher-risk areas include counties where the two captive deer operations are located (Medina and Lavaca) and those around the 46 sites where deer tied to the Medina County breeding operation were released, Lockwood said. "


Ouch. I figured with Texas laws allowing the release of captive deer some of those 900 had been released. But in 46 places ? It has got to cause major concern.

Terry. Any idea if Kroll has chimed in on the situation since its now his back yard instead of someone elses??

i read something somewhere, it seems, don't quote me, something to the effect of, nothing to worry about, little chicken theory or something. a good bad example is what TAHC has already lived up to, in my opinion. you don't continue to knowing let CWD walk across the border for a decade, and do nothing about it, or let an industry self regulate itself via legislation and lobbyist, all the while doing the end around sound science. you get what you ask for...

TEXAS One sorghum DDGS sample out of 168 DG samples was contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, but the transmission route of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent could not be clearly defined.

Evaluation of Selected Nutrients and Contaminants in Distillers Grains from Ethanol Production in Texas.

Abstract

This study evaluated distillers grain (DG) by-products produced in different ethanol plants and supplemented in animal diets in Texas, based on samples analyzed from 2008 to 2014. The samples were assessed for concentration, occurrence, and prevalence of selected nutrients and contaminants. Protein and sulfur contents of DG were largely different between corn and sorghum by-products as well as wet distillers grain with solubles and dry distillers grain with solubles (DDGS), indicating a significant effect of grain feedstock and dry-grind process stream on DG composition and quality. Salmonella was isolated in 4 DDGS samples out of a total of 157 DG samples, a percentage (2.5%) that is much lower than the percentage of Salmonella-positive samples found in other feed samples analyzed during the same period. A small amount of virginiamycin residue was found in 24 corn DDGS, 1 corn wet distillers grain with solubles, and 2 sorghum DDGS samples out of 242 samples in total. One sorghum DDGS sample out of 168 DG samples was contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, but the transmission route of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy agent could not be clearly defined. The concentrations of aflatoxin and fumonisin DG by-products averaged 3.4 μg/kg and 0.7 mg/kg, respectively. Among contaminated corn DG samples, five DDGS samples for aflatoxin contained a higher concentration than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration action level for use in animal feed, whereas no sample for fumonisin was found above the action level. The study results raised some important issues associated with the quality and use of DG by-products, suggesting several approaches and strategies for their effective and safe use as a feed ingredient to promote animal and human health and welfare.

I don’t guess I am smart enough to have access to this journal, but found this abstract, and found this study of Selected Nutrients and Contaminants in Distillers Grains from Ethanol Production in Texas, and the fact they found BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY BSE TSE PRION IN ONE SAMPLE OF SORGHUM DDGS OUT OF 168 DG SAMPLES in 2015, I find this disturbing, but does not surprise me.
