Question

If answer at 521 c105-6 on use of scrapie-infested carcase waste in ruminant feed is to be held to suggest that "possible recycling of animal pathogens" was a matter not examined by their scientific advisers at time they were allowing its use, that is, before their recent decision to prohibit it in "ruminant feedstuffs" & whether its use in non-ruminant feedstuffs has full approval of their scientific advisers.
