researchers to test slaughterhouse waste water for disease agent article by: Margaret Munro, CanWest News Service
Brains, eyes, tonsils and other select tissues from older cattle - even bone dust generated when their spines are split open - will be diverted out of the food chain to meet new federal rules that go into effect Thursday in an effort to eradicate mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, caused by infectious proteins called prions.
But the water that pours down the drains at slaughterhouses and rendering plants continues to be considered risk-free.
"It's not contaminated," says Freeman Libby, an official with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, who likens it to "normal waste water going down your sink drain."

July 6, 2007 HALIFAX -- They called it Operation Free Willy, of course.
A Canadian warship freed a humpback whale that was entangled in fishing gear on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland on Wednesday.
HMCS St. John's was on a routine fisheries patrol when it received a radio message from a nearby fishing boat that a whale was in distress.
The 10-metre-long animal was thrashing on the surface as it tried to free itself from ropes and a large orange buoy snagged in its tail.
"I couldn't believe the size of it -- he was three times longer than our boat," Commander Brian Santarpia, the ship's skipper, said yesterday.
"We were a little concerned about letting the boat get close, let alone letting divers get in."
For more than an hour, sailors in one of the boats tried to free the whale by cutting some of the lines that were attached to the buoy and about 20 heavy crab pots below the surface.
