Final answer:
Although the given information details various diseases affecting cattle such as BSE and anthrax, it does not provide data about breeds predisposed to fat necrosis. Fat necrosis is generally related to management and dietary factors not specific to a cattle breed's genetics.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about a breed of cattle predisposed to fat necrosis, but the information provided does not directly answer this specific question. Instead, the information focuses on various diseases that affect cattle, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, and the bacterial infection anthrax. These conditions are associated with significant health risks to both animals and humans. BSE is a neurodegenerative disease in cattle caused by prions and can be transmitted to humans as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. Neither BSE nor anthrax is specifically linked to fat necrosis in cattle.
Without direct reference to a specific breed associated with fat necrosis, I am unable to provide an accurate answer to the student's question based on the given information. However, fat necrosis in cattle is a condition wherein fat tissue within the body becomes firm and scarlike due to the death of fat cells. This can sometimes occur in high-producing beef breeds that accumulate excess body fat. It is typically associated with management factors such as diet rather than a specific breed's genetic predisposition.
