**6.1 Bovine enzymes**

Even though bovine enzymes have been suggested as a potential alternative for individuals who refuse to consume porcine products for religious or other cultural reasons; there remain some safety concerns about transmittable pathogens such as Foot and mouth disease and Bovine spongiform encephalopathy from these preparations. Additionally, lipase activity is approximately 75% lower than the porcine preparations (Layer and Keller, 2003)
