- A specific lot of product contains elevated levels of monensin, could harm cattle
ADM Animal Nutrition™, a division of Archer Daniels Midland Company
(NYSE: ADM), is recalling 50-pound bags of Rough-N-Ready 14 BT cattle
feed, product number 54787BHB24, because the product contains elevated
levels of monensin beyond the recommended dosage, which could be harmful
to cattle. At elevated levels, monensin can be toxic to cattle and can
cause colic-like symptoms, hypokalemia, myoglobinuria, chronic
cardiovascular issues, and possible death.
There is one lot number involved in this recall: Lot # 2WS01717. The
product was distributed between Jan. 19, 2017, and Feb. 2, 2017, and
could have been purchased directly from ADM Animal Nutrition or through
one of three distributors including: Midwest Fertilizer, Inc. in Iola,
Kansas; CW Feeds in Wichita, Kansas and Northtown Ace in Mountain Grove,
Missouri.
ADM Animal Nutrition received reports from two customers claiming this
feed may have resulted in death loss on their respective farms. The
company immediately began investigating and initiated the recall upon
receiving confirmation that the feed contained elevated levels of
monensin due to a temporary breakdown in the packaging process, which
has now been corrected. ADM has been in direct contact with the
distributors involved in this recall, and all product has been removed
from retail shelves. ADM is also working directly with the customers
involved.
The lot number, 2WS01717, can be found at the bottom of the label. Click here
to view an image of the label. Customers who have purchased the recalled
feed should immediately stop using it and return it to their distributor
or directly to ADM Animal Nutrition for a full refund. Please direct any
customer inquiries to 800-217-2007 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4
p.m. Central Time Monday through Friday.
