Now the Government has introduced a BSE Testing System toreplace one of the controls that has banned cattle aged over 30 months from the food chain. This aims to ensure the continuinghigh level of protection of consumers in the UK.esearch shows that, by the most likely estimates, the risk from BSEtesting of older cattle, instead of banning them completely, willresult in less than one additional case of vCJD occurring in humansover the next 60 years. The worst-case scenario is that there couldbe 2.5 additional cases.
Calves can be weaned any time after their rumens become functional, that is, when their digestive system can process whole feeds. Bottle-fed calves can be weaned after one month of age, while calves nursing cows are weaned between 3 and 8 months of age. It is usually best to wean at the older age. For comparing weight of calves weaned at different ages, a 205-day weaning weight is sometimes calculated. This â205-day WWâ is the calf weight adjusted for birth date and weaning date, and does not infer that calves should necessarily be weaned at that age.
