Approximately 377 bags of MoorMan's ShowTec 18 Elite Lamb DC medicated textured grain mix are being recalled due to excessive copper levels. The recall was triggered after a customer reported the deaths of two sheep from copper toxicosis after eating this feed. The affected 50 lb bags were sold in several states, including Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, between August and October 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using the feed and return any remaining bags to their place of purchase for a full refund.
Sheep are highly sensitive to copper; consuming feed with elevated copper levels can lead to copper toxicosis, a condition that causes liver damage, the breakdown of red blood cells, and death, as reported in two sheep prior to this recall.
Full refund upon return
