Clinical Signs in Cattle

Cows affected by BSE are usually apart from the herd and will show progressively deteriorating behavioural and neurological signs. One notable sign is an increase in aggression. Cattle will react excessively to noise or touch and will slowly become ataxic.

Systemic signs of disease, such as a drop in milk production, anorexia and lethargy, are present.
