專業目的

畜產業生產人類食用的優質動物性蛋白，獸醫則確認各種動物的健康及動物性產品的安全與衛生

3

獸醫畜產環境

各類型經濟動物養殖場 : 豬、牛、 羊、鹿、兔、雞、鴨、鵝、魚、 蝦、甲魚、牛蛙等 ;野生動物園 ;寵物畜養場 ;動物醫院 ;屠宰場、化製廠等

4

獸醫畜產環境公害

旨揭該環境引起人們不愉快之感受，即構成公害的條件。這些感受可能經由空氣、水、廢棄物等途徑引起，不悅的感受不一定必須以引起疾病之有無作為判斷的依據。獸醫畜產環境的維護在於公共衛生的認知，尤其是獸醫公共衛生的充分發揮。

獸醫公共衛生Veterinary Public Health

Veterinary Public Health (VPH) was defined by the WHO consultation on "future trends in veterinary public health" held in Teramo, Italy in 1999 as "the sum of all contributions to the physical, mental and social well-being of humans through an understanding and application of veterinary science".

-- 即以獸醫科技來促進人類的身心健康福祉！

牛海綿狀腦病 (BSE) -- 養牛業與化製業的噩夢

Known as Human Mad Cow Disease ( 人類狂牛病 ) or new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(vCJD; 新型庫賈氏病 ) Long incubation period of 5 to 20 years (May be more than 50 years – The Lancet, 367: 2068-74, 2006)

217 vCJD patients (1996-2009. 10) 11 countries: UK 170, France 25, Spain 5, Ireland 4, USA 3, Netherlands 3, Portugal 2, Italy 2, 1 each in Canada, Japan and Saudi Arabia

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)

Infectious, progressive neurodegenerative, fatal brain disease in cattle – first identified in 1986 in UK

Suspect pathogen: Accumulation of protein infectious particle PrPSC (normal cellular prion protein 普利昂蛋白PrPC converted into PrPSC) in nervous tissue

Incubation period of 20 months to more than 10 years before showing ataxia, attitude and behavior changes, uncoordinated movements, trouble standing and walking, weight loss clinical symptoms, and may process from 2 weeks to 6 months and dies eventually

9

Pathogenesis of BSE

Oral exposure – trapping of BSE agent in lymphoid tissue of gut After oral challenge, detect BSE first in distal ileum

associated with Peyer’s patches in 6 months Transport the agent (abnormal prion protein) to Centra

l Nervous System (CNS) – (along nerve tracks?) Accumulation of abnormal prion protein in brain, spina

l cord, and nervous tissue Detectable only 3-6 months prior to clinical signs

狂牛病的警訊

18 世紀就有羊的搔癢症了，為何沒有人類的病例傳出呢 ?

變性蛋白質病原經一次的跨物種傳播後可能獲得改變宿主範圍的能力， 因此當羊的搔癢症病原感染牛後，可能改變病原特性，而可以感染另一物種人類了 !

牛籍回溯系統 2005 年 7 月美國開始執行牛籍管理制度 (非強迫性 ) ： 假使輸入的牛隻ㄧ旦發現有病原存在，能回溯追蹤到

原來的飼養場、族群及屠宰場等。 如果不限制來源證明，是有回溯盲點。加拿大與日本則都納入管理。整體上在制度面與資料的透明公開管理，孰勝孰非？

美日 EV 規定，屠牛必須做牛海綿狀腦病篩檢及屠宰場、飼養場和製造者亦必須符合規定，牛隻 (包含個體和族群 ) 必須能追溯到屠畜生前之出生與製造記錄

美韓 EV 規定中要求必須保留屠宰記錄 2 年

台灣並沒有類似要求

EU 27 BSE monitoring of 2007 Active monitoring: - 1,445,280 risk bovine animals (Fallen, Emergency slaughter, Clinical signs at AM). - 8,262,517 healthy slaughtered animals - 1,466 animals culled in connection to BSE case

Passive monitoring: - 1860 official BSE suspects.

Results of 174 BSE positives:91% from Active and 9% from passive monitoring.

30

BSE 普測還是高風險檢測 ? 美國在 2004-2006年 8月採樣了約 79萬個牛隻樣本 (每二百五十頭採樣一頭 ) ，包含健康與高風險族群，共篩檢出兩個病例。之後至今則降低約十倍 (每二千五百頭採樣一頭 ) ，主要為高風險族群。在一億頭飼養牛隻的美國至今共發現三個病例。

日本上市者都要接受測試的，每年大約檢測 125 萬頭。四百四十萬飼養牛隻頭數的日本有 36 個病例 (2009 年亦有 )。

加拿大自 2004 年後每年採樣高風險族群至少 3萬頭牛隻檢測(約 500頭採樣一隻，但實際每年採樣測試約 5萬個樣本 ) 。在一千五百萬飼養牛隻頭數的加拿大有 18個病例發現 (2009年仍有 )。

加拿大飼養方式與美國類似，美加邊境牛隻來往頻繁，很多加拿大牛隻肥育期是在美國境內牧場完成並屠宰，所以很難分彼我。就這種管理、測試比例及技術等，美國真的僅此三例 ?

人類為了一己之私，強迫牛隻改變食性，終於架禍於自己

科學的知識是相當薄弱的，通常是出事後才能找出原因或才能證明的。如果動物化製原料沒有分種別而專一處理且再餵食經濟動物或寵物，難保類似狂牛病的案例不會再發生。再者，同類相食的情況涉及到道德與倫理的問題。

台灣對化製業的管理要好好的思考，不要造成另一公共衛生的浩劫。

43

是全牛還是 30個月齡以下 ?

美台協議書英文版並未談及 30 個月以下的牛肉與產品的事 , 只有定義高風險物質時才用到 30 個月齡以上的限制要求 , 即協議書是可以開放不分年齡所有的帶或不帶骨牛肉 .

44

密室協商是什米碗糕 ? 美國給肉商的輸出產品說明 (Export Requirements for Taiw

an (Dec 2, 2009) 提到 "As a temporary market transition measure, U.S. exporters will ship only U.S. deboned and bone-in beef products from cattle less than 30 months of age.", 可知這是一個暫時性的措施 , 也因此可知為何 180 天後要檢討開放情形 .

不過美國 USDA AMS 目前公告 Export Verification (EV) Program Specified Product Requirements for Beef - Taiwan 仍然是 2007 年的不帶骨牛肉版 .

這些所有資料都不一致 , 雙方政府秘室協商後在中英文公告上有相當多套不同的要求 , 兩者在變通處置上果然默契是有一套 !

WTO 委由世界動物衛生組織訂定各會員國協商時的基本標準 , 這是一個參考性的規範準則 , 不是絕對的 . 比如說歐盟訂出的高風險物質就比世界動物衛生組織標準嚴格 , 日本與美國的協議就完全不適用該標準 , 我們是模範生要完全遵守該規範 ? 同樣的 , 因為中國的關係 , 我們在世界動物衛生組織的會籍名稱也同意改了兩次 , 模範生必備的條件看來難道就是只有忍辱負重嗎 ? 為什麼台灣公民的我們不能自主 !

世界動物衛生組織的規範

48

結論 牛海綿狀腦病的疫情已有效控制住但仍未完全滅絕，人類狂牛病病例仍有繼續發現，要有耐心的觀察與等待，不屈服威脅與接受利誘

牛隻與牛肉及其產品的輸出入，除要依循疫區規範認真確實嚴加執行外，充份的風險溝通是必須的，阻絕於境外是優先的選項

雖然經由肉製品輸入而傳入台灣的風險非常的低，但因應可能的人類病例，除了重新思考輸入國之牛源與牛籍管理要求外，要啟動特殊疾病國家保險制度

49

期許與勉勵

畜產工業強權耗用畜牧業糧食、產生糞尿污染、砍伐森林與使用長程冷凍運輸，產生了大量的溫室氣體，是地球殺手。大家該少吃外來牛肉，少用動物皮草油脂與化妝品，除了讓自己免遭狂牛病天譴外，更可以為子孫救地球。

Deboned and bone-in beef derived from (1) cattle born and raised in the United States, (2) cattle raised in the United States for at least 100 days prior to slaughter, or (3) cattle legally imported into the United States from a country deemed eligible by Taiwan to export deboned beef to Taiwan. (Presently, Australia and New Zealand can export to directly to Taiwan with no restrictions.)

Beef or beef products of cattle from Canada fed less than 100 days prior to slaughter in the United States is limited at this time to deboned beef derived from animals less than 30 months of age.

Eligible deboned and bone-in beef must be produced under an approved AMS program for beef to Taiwan. For more information on AMS official listings and dates, see C. and D. of the Documentation Requirements below.

If FSIS inspection personnel become aware of concerns that an AMS approved EV establishment is not properly executing its EV program, export certification should not be issued for the product in question and AMS should be notified at ARCBranch@usda.gov. Inspection personnel should include their immediate supervisor on messages to AMS. The following information should be included in the message:

Establishment name, address, and establishment number Product type, product code, and quantity of product Date of production, lot number, and shift Date and nature of observation Name of country product is intended for export Export certificate number (if applicable) Any other information to verify claim Name of inspection official As a temporary market transition measure, U.S. exporters will ship only U.S. deboned and bone-in beef products fro

m cattle less than 30 months of age. AMS has set up a voluntary Quality System Assessment (QSA) Program to verify that beef from participating plants will be from cattle less than 30 months of age. Exporting establishments may choose to participate in the AMS Quality System Assessment (QSA) Program that verifies that the beef being certified is from cattle less than 30 months of age. At this time, Taiwan will not accept at ports of entry shipments of beef without the QSA program statement in the Remarks section of the FSIS 9060-5 as described in the Documentation section, and Taiwan quarantine authorities will return shipments without the statement to the owner/agent of the product. A list of QSA-approved establishments and their approval dates can be obtained from the AMS website.

Eligible deboned beef must be derived from animals slaughtered on after the QSA program approval date of the slaughter establishment. Certain beef and beef products derived from certain categories of cattle imported from Canada are ineligible. See B. Ineligible Products.

More information about the status of other beef products will be provided as it becomes available.
