Mad Cow Web Resources

<a href="http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=internetNews&amp;storyID=4107195" title="Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage">Consumers Flock to Web for Mad Cow Information</a>: &ldquo;When the first case of mad cow disease surfaced in the United States three weeks ago, the biggest problem wasn't finding facts on the cattle brain destroying disease, but sorting through a jumble of Web sites overflowing with information.



&ldquo;Consumers, trade groups and even local governments flocked to the <a href="http://www.fas.usda.gov/dlp/BSE/bse.html" title="BSE Page">U.S. Department of Agriculture&rsquo;s Web site on bovine spongiform encephalopathy</a> (BSE), calling it by far the best resource on the Web.



&ldquo;&lsquo;The USDA Web site is the best place for information,&rsquo; said Kiran Kernellu, communications manager for the National Meat Association.



&ldquo;For those interested in more information about the rare human neurological disorder, the <a href="http://cjdfoundation.org/" title="Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Foundation, Inc.">Creutzfeldt-Jakob Foundation's Web site</a> is a key resource as well.



&ldquo;Other sites rich in information on Mad Cow disease include the explanatory <a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/mad-cow-disease.htm" title="Howstuffworks &quot;How Mad Cow Disease Works&quot;">How Stuff Works Web site</a> and the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/cjd/cjd.htm" title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy: Main Index, CDC">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&rsquo;s collection of Web resources</a>."
