Discussion with veterinarian about CAE

What are thoughts on eating CAE+ animals?

I was wondering this too. If you cull CAE positive goats are they OK to eat?

That's a really good question. There won't be a research answer on it.

I wouldn't serve it or eat it. Hubby has had a kidney transplant and is on anti-rejection drugs, which makes his body more vulnerable to infection. We have an elderly friend who lives with us who has scleroderma, an immune system disease. That makes me VERY cautious.

The logical answer, I guess, is that if you cook it well-done, it might be OK.

I'm not saying that is a fact, just a thought.

I see now, Alice, partly at least, why you are so adament about this. I used raw milk a couple of years ago, and I know that goat wasn't tested, but "now that I know" I am nervous about it.

I would think that CAE positive meat, if cooked well, would be fine for cats and dogs.

It generally takes diseases longer to adapt to radically different systems. Therefore, while a disease common to herbivores might be mutating to adapt to an omnivore, it is pretty far off from being able to get into the system of a carnivore.

I would not eat it myself.
