[Animalconcerns]

Washington, DC, May. 4 (UPI) -- Only three mad cow tests were conducted at
the Texas plant where federal testing policies were breached last week,
according to records obtained by UPI.

Co. of San Angelo, Texas, is the 18th largest U.S. slaughterhouse. The
company processes older dairy cows that are considered to be at high risk
of infection.
