5 cows with mad cow disease fed milk substitute
--------------------------
Kanagawa prefectural government officials said Friday a Holstein dairy cow
confirmed to be Japan's fifth case of mad cow disease was probably fed a
milk substitute which is similar to those given to 4 other cows earlier
confirmed with the disease.
The officials said the milk substitute -- given to calves until they are
weaned -- was produced by the same maker which supplied the milk products
fed to the first 4 infected cows.
