Wiki- Cattle feeding, drop down to BSE confirms cross feeding contamination between species.

Have you heard of Howard Lyman? He is known as The Mad Cowboy, a former rancher and farmer. In his book "No More Bull" he states that the 1997 ban is "flouted by feed mills, cattle still feed on the blood of their own species, as well as ground-up dogs, cats, horses, pigs, roadkill and their own dung. We feed ground-up cattle to chickens and then we feed chicken litter back to cattle."

Since it only takes a miniscule amount of prions, the organisms that cause Mad Cow, to infect an animal, even a short amount of time spent in a feedlot can cause the disease.
