Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Burkmann Industries Inc. has recalled 83 bags (50 lb each) of WCN Balancer R1400 TZI Medicated Mixing Mineral for Beef Cattle on Pasture. The recall was issued because the product was potentially mixed with another product containing a higher concentration of rumensin (monensin) than indicated on the label. This affected product was distributed to a single farm in Kentucky in white poly bags. Consumers should stop using the feed immediately and contact their manufacturer for further instructions on returning the product.

Risk

Excessive levels of rumensin can be toxic to beef cattle, potentially leading to reduced appetite, heart damage, or death. Other animals, especially horses, are highly sensitive to monensin and can suffer fatal reactions if they consume this medicated mineral.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your mineral bags to see if they are WCN Balancer R1400 TZI Medicated Mixing Mineral for Beef Cattle on Pasture packaged in 50 lb white poly bags.
  2. Verify the bag for the identification code 2050873 to confirm it is part of the recalled batch.
  3. Immediately stop feeding this specific mineral to your cattle and ensure it is stored where other animals, particularly horses, cannot access it.
  4. Contact Burkmann Industries Inc. at 1111 Perryville Rd, Danville, Kentucky, or Watson Cattle Nutrition, LLC to arrange for a return and to receive a refund.
  5. Consult a veterinarian if your livestock show signs of illness or if you suspect other animals have consumed the medicated mineral.
  6. For further information, you may contact the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
