BSE was not detected in Denmark since September 2005. The affected cow was born before the tightening of the feed ban in 1997 and 2001.
- On 1 January 2001, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration introduced a total ban on feeding processed animal protein (including meat and bone meal (MBM), fish meal, etc.) to animals that are kept, fattened or bred for the production of food.
- In 1997, feeding mammalian MBM to ruminants was prohibited.
- In 1990, feeding ruminant MBM to ruminants was prohibited.
Measures consist of quarantine and modified stamping out.
