Big Gain Wisconsin LLC: Medicated Calf Starter Feed Recalled for Excess Salt

Agency Publication Date: December 1, 2017

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Big Gain Wisconsin, LLC is recalling 231 bags of its '20% Total Calf B45 Fly' medicated calf starter feed because it contains excessive levels of salt. This feed is specifically designed for dairy calves from birth to 5 weeks of age and was distributed in 50-lb bags and bulk quantities. The excess salt in the feed was discovered during quality testing, and the manufacturer has voluntarily initiated this recall to prevent potential health issues in young livestock. Because this is a veterinary product, consumers should immediately stop using the affected feed and return it to Big Gain Wisconsin, LLC in Lodi, Wisconsin, for a full refund.

Risk

Excessive salt intake in young dairy calves can lead to salt toxicity (hypernatremia), which causes dehydration, tremors, seizures, and potentially death if fresh water intake is insufficient to compensate for the high mineral levels.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your feed bags or delivery invoices for 'Big Gain Wisconsin, 2205, 20% Total Calf B45 Fly, Medicated' in 50-lb (22.67 kg) bags or bulk orders.
  2. Verify the identifying code '091117' located on the packaging to confirm if your specific batch is part of the recall.
  3. Stop feeding the affected product to your calves immediately if the product name and code match the recalled information.
  4. Return any unused bags or bulk feed to Big Gain Wisconsin, LLC at W9077 Schulz Rd, Lodi, WI 53555 for a full refund.
  5. Monitor your calves for signs of salt toxicity, such as extreme thirst, weakness, or neurological issues, and contact a veterinarian if symptoms appear.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
