The federal government is outlawing the use of cattle blood in livestock feed and cow brains and other parts in dietary supplements.
That is part of broader restrictions in wake of the nation's first known case of mad cow disease.

The agency also wants to make sure people do not consume risky animal parts in processed foods and supplements.
