Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Burkmann Industries Inc. has recalled 14,908 bags of various medicated beef cattle feeds and mineral mixes, including brands like Bovagard, Rumagard, and I-MAX. These products were recalled because they contained an unapproved drug combination of lasalocid and chlortetracycline with unauthorized claims regarding the reduction of liver abscesses. These medicated feeds were distributed in 25-pound and 50-pound bags across Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Risk

Using unapproved drug combinations in animal feed can lead to unknown health outcomes for the livestock and may affect the safety of food products derived from those animals. The specific combination of lasalocid and chlortetracycline used here was not authorized by the FDA for the claimed purpose of reducing liver condemnations due to abscesses.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have any of the affected medicated feeds by checking the product names and batch numbers on the 25 lb or 50 lb bags. Affected products include Stress 700 (Batch #s 212104, 104095, 107215), Bovagard (Batch #s 101215, 201295, 102185, 203245, 204135, 205015, 205285, 107075, 107165, 108135), and I-MAX (Batch #s 203075, 203245, 204035, 205285, 106105, 206305, 207085, 208075).
  2. Check other medicated minerals including Pasture Balancer-Rum (Batch #s 212134, 102115, 206045, 108135), Rumagard (Batch #s 111204, 212154, 301095, 101215, 102105, 203195, 204135, 204165, 204575, 205135, 105295, 206125, 32206, 107145, 307285, 208215, 108275), and Rumamag (Batch #s 201295, 103225, 61316).
  3. Verify remaining affected products: Coproduct Fortifier-Rum (Batch #s 101125, 203065, 203245, 204135, 205045, 106295) and Rumax Mineral (Batch #s 30195, 1234, 103075, 103195, 204025, 304275, 205045, 105145, 160165, 107015, 108195).
  4. Contact your veterinarian or animal health consultant for guidance regarding cattle that have consumed these unapproved medicated feeds.
  5. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund and contact Burkmann Industries Inc. for further disposal or return instructions.
