Rendering plants pick up guts, bones, offal and make many products from it. Soaps, bone meal etc. Animal fats mixed in with grains and fed back to cattle was a thing decades ago. My neighbor had some and it was kind of a greasy grain. Made his calves shine. We now know that was a bad practice.
Perhaps it's been discussed here a thousand times already and if it is please forgive me for asking again.
Does biologist know how prions are transferred from one deer to another?
Does biologist know of deer that have contracted the prion but never got sick and died?
Does biologist know if any other animal (domestic or wild) that has consumed the meat of the deer carcass been infected with the prion virus and die?
Has biologist been able to detect the prion virus in the tissue of the deer carcass (especially the meat) without the direct contamination of the brain or spinal tissue?
These are questions that should be and possibly already are answered, the issue here is possibly the same problem others have is the credibility of the studies that have been written as facts or a hypothesis that others have concluded as true. Scientific research right now especially in biology and the effects and treatments of viruses has been affected by junk Science that is pushed to serve a specific agenda.
Human scientific technology is able to break down the DNA of a the human and be able to find certain genome (markers) sequences that can be used to predict diseases that other humans are do not carry, that's amazing breakthrough that will be used someday to be able to cure diseases. Either by producing a geo - virus or removing the DNA sequences from the embryo, then replace them with the dna marker of a healthy person.

These 2 articles are discussing the disease that is called kuru or Creutzfeldt-Jacob variant that is caused by humans consuming of meat and other organs like the brain and the spinal cord. The second article has some unique information as how a mother could possibly pass on the prions to their children by only touching the brain matter that contaminates other human tissue flesh that was later consumed.
What I found interesting in the second article was the genetic mutation that some of these people had that protected them when consuming flesh with the prion virus , which the person never eventually died of the prion. Being able to study a religious ritual such as cannibalism was only possible because scientists were only interested in studying these subjects essentially in a unbiased controlled environment. Since cannibalism was practiced over many generations on a remote island, scientists were able to make theories that were eventually able to be proven with modern technology that became scientific facts that were eventually studied by other scientists to come up with conclusive evidence that consumption of human brain and spinal cord matter that contaminated the rest of the flesh, which eventually killed others who consumed the meat.
The protective polymorphism G127V, which is what scientists were able to detect in living and dead tissue samples to come up with a theory that was later backed up by others, that this genetic mutation was key to some not being another statistical death to the prion virus.
I believe this genetic mutation in dna samples could possibly be used to find other genetic mutations in other people who carry a genetic marker for a disease like ms, dementia, or other neurological diseases.
Then that scientific research could be used on other animals like deer and why other animals like the pig are genetically immune to the prion virus.
That's the scientific studies that get results by trial and error, i think every hunter who bags a deer should donate the parts of the carcass, that is studied to make a conclusion that the deer was either infected or not. Only through 1000s of genetic samples over many different generations can scientists be able to find a genetic mutation if it even exists in deer. So scientists can possibly find a cure for a virus that is virtually indestructible for all animals including humans who are infected with a prion virus and eventually die.
, progress in finding actual results to stop a cwd in deer. Scientists with 100 percent confidence, been able to figure out how to stop mad cow disease.
