Do cows get Alzheimer’s?

Cow's get Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as 'mad cow disease', which is similar to the variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD) of humans (as the same strain of the prion is responsible for both).
CJD and AD both cause dementia, like few more related neurodegenerative disorders but they differ in many of the clinical, neuropathological, genetic and molecular characteristics.
