Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 63 tons of ADM Alliance Nutrition custom-made calf feed have been recalled because they contain dangerously high levels of sulfur. The recall involves Westphalia 16% Calf RU Dairy and Westphalia Dairy 18 Calf RU medicated grain mixes. This issue was discovered following a report on October 21, 2011, concerning the illness and death of calves in Michigan that had been fed these products. Owners should immediately stop using these specific feed blends and return any remaining product to their supplier.

Risk

Excessive sulfur levels in cattle feed can lead to sulfur toxicity, which may cause severe neurological damage (polioencephalomalacia), illness, and death in calves. There has been at least one reported incident involving the illness and death of calves in Michigan associated with this product.
