Japan loses track of radioactive cows


Japanese authorities have lost track of nearly 3,000 dead cows suspected of containing high levels of radioactive caesium.

The cows ate rice straw contaminated in the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Last year Japan's health ministry ordered the testing of more than 4,500 beef cattle suspected of being contaminated with radiation.
