The first test completed on Monday was negative. A second finished on Tuesday was also negative, he said. <br />n<br />n"Negative results from both … tests make us confident that the animal in question is indeed negative for <acronym title="Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy">BSE</acronym>," Clifford said. </blockquote><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Cattle industry officials said they were relieved, but not surprised. <br />n<br />n"All along, from the beginning, we knew that the screening tests, while very accurate, were going to have some false positives because of the sensitivity of them," said Chandler Keys, vice president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. <br />n<br />n"It looks like the North American system is robust … We have no epidemic problem, as the Europeans did," Keys added. </blockquote><br />n<br />n<b>Develop success from failures.
