Canada has tested more than 8,600 animals for mad cow disease, exceeding its testing target for 2004.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency reported on Sunday that all the animals tested for bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE by October 27 reported negative for the disease.

The target was 8,000 cattle to be tested by the end of 2004.

The federal government is increasing the number of cattle tested to 30,000 in 2005 and subsequent years.

Canada's exports of beef products have been affected by a single case of mad cow disease, since May 2003.
