State veterinarian services said they have taken all the necessary measures to ensure that the disease is contained and does not spread to other farms in the village of Pournaria.
A farm in Fthiotida, central Greece, was quarantined in March after two cases of BSE were discovered there, almost 10 years since the disease last appeared in Greece.
BSE can be transmitted to humans who eat food derived from the infected animals.
In humans, the disease is known as new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
