What actions are taken at USDA-inspected slaughter establishments to
ensure
that cattle with neurological disease would not enter the human food

exhibiting neurologic signs during this inspection are condemned, and the
meat is not permitted for use as human food. The brains from these animals
are submitted to USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories for
analysis.
