Mad cow disease is an incurable, fatal brain disease that affects cattle. Different versions of the disease can affect certain other animals, like goats and sheep. The medical name for mad cow disease is bovine spongiform encephalopathy (pronounced: BO-vine SPUN-jih-form en-seh-fah-LA-puh-thee), or BSE for short.
