The farm ministry said Monday it has confirmed that a feed factory in Ibaraki Prefecture that produced meat and bone meal from a cow suspected of having mad cow disease shipped the MBM only to a company in Tokushima Prefecture.

Livestock-hygiene workers disinfect the floor of a warehouse that stored feed made from the bones of a cow suspected of having contracted mad cow disease in Chiba Prefecture.

The MBM made at the feed factory, in the town of Hasaki, was not shipped anywhere other than the MBM wholesaler in Tokushima, the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry said.
