The government is investigating another possible case of mad cow disease, the Agriculture Department said yesterday.

Testing indicated the presence of the disease in a cow that died on the farm where it lived, said John Clifford, the department's chief veterinarian. The agency would not say where the farm was. The cow was at least 12 years old and died of complications during calving, Clifford said.

"It is important to note that this animal poses no threat to the human food supply, because it did not enter the human or animal food chains," Clifford said.
