The cow was born in the spring of 1996, which is around the same time as many other cows infected with the disease called bovine spongiform encephalopathy were born.
As the cow was born before feeding cows with meat-and-bone meal was banned in 2001 due to fear of infection by the disease, the ministry said that latest case does not change its current anti-BSE measures, ministry officials said.

Multivariate patterns in seven measurements for leaf morphology and frequency distributions of fragment lengths in four SSRs significantly differed between Betsukai and Sarabetsu, but the ranges of the morphological measurements and fragment lengths were largely overlapped between the two sites.
In spite of the smaller population size in Sarabetsu than in Betsukai, coefficients of variation in most leaf measurements and richness/diversity of fragment lengths in all the SSRs were not smaller in Sarabetsu than in Betsukai.
These results imply that environmental stress due to dryness of habitats and competition with other plants, which may be stronger in Sarabetsu than in Betsukai, causes both the difference in leaf shape and the increase in leaf FA.

Led by Masaru Ichikawa, a professor at Hokkaido University's Catalysis Research Center, researchers simultaneously produced benzene and hydrogen from methane gas generated by cow dung using a catalytic substance developed at the research center.
A demonstration conducted at a laboratory in Betsukai, Hokkaido, produced 50 kilograms of benzene-a raw material used to manufacture plastic-and 120 cubic meters of hydrogen, using methane gas produced by around 200 cubic meters of cowpie biogas a day.
To produce the needed chemical reaction, methane gas must first be heated to about 750 degrees and then compressed.
