Posted on November 27, 2006 by Mad Cow

PRAGUE, Czech Republic: A new case of mad cow disease has been reported in the Czech Republic, bringing the country's total to 25, an official said Monday.

A 6-year-old cow from a farm in Semily, 100 kilometer (62 miles) northeast of Prague, tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease, said Josef Duben, a spokesman for the state veterinary authority.

The Czech Republic's first case of BSE was reported in June 2001. Over one million cows have been tested in the country for the disease since early 2001.
