Burkmann Feeds LLC has recalled its bulk custom-made dairy feed because it contains an ingredient called Pro-Lak, which may contain prohibited ruminant-derived meat and bone meal. The use of protein derived from mammalian tissues is restricted in cattle feed to prevent the potential spread of animal diseases. This specific custom feed was distributed to a single dairy operation in Quality, Kentucky.
Feeding ruminant-derived meat and bone meal back to other ruminants like cattle poses a significant safety risk as it is a primary factor in the spread of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). No livestock illnesses or incidents have been reported in connection with this feed.
