Abstract
Analytes and ligands for detecting animal byproduct in agricultural samples such as animal feed to minimize the transmission of prion pathogens into food products consumed by humans. The analyte is a component of rendered animal byproduct such as meat and bone meal (MBM). An antibody specific for the analyte is produced by immunizing an animal with MBM or an immunogenic component of MBM that is found in rendered animal product.
