Volume 3: The Early Years, 1986-88
6. Notification of the ruminant feed ban to other countries
Introduction

6.1 In this section we will describe the extent to which countries beyond the UK were made aware of the imposition of the ruminant feed ban after its introduction in July 1988. In particular, we will consider the extent to which the British Government ensured that all countries importing meat and bone meal (MBM), or animal feed containing MBM, were aware of the potential dangers associated with the feeding of such material to ruminants.
