The disease of the mad cow is confirmed on a farm in Britain.
Restrictions of the prevention movement on cows have been observed on the Aberdeenshire farm.
An investigation has been launched to locate the source of the outbreak of this disease.
The Scottish government says BSE did not enter the food chain and has no health risks.
Every farmer with concerns about their livestock has been urged to seek immediate veterinary advice from vetilina chief Sheila Voas, the Periscope broadcasts.
The disease of the mad cow was first reported in Great Britain in 1986, peaking in 1993 with almost 1,000 new cases a week. Lack of contaminated meat and cattle products is supposed to be the cause.
A Scottish Government statement said: “This is the standard procedure for a confirmed case of the classic BSE, which poses no threat to human health”.
“Animal Health Agency (APHA) is investigating the source of the explosion. The case has been identified as a result of the strict control measures we have in place”. /Periscopi/.
