Cargill Animal Nutrition has recalled approximately 76,026 pounds of custom medicated and non-medicated dairy feed supplements after urea was inadvertently added to the products without being listed on the label. The recall affects 11 specific custom blends including Vreugdenhil, Vanderwaal, RTJ, Meadow Park, Marmel, Bajema, Vanmiddendorp, Deck, Debruin, Blankers, and Dejong brands. These products were distributed in bulk directly to 11 dairies in the state of Washington and are used for 'Close up' and 'Dry Cow' dairy livestock. Owners of affected dairies should immediately stop using these supplements and follow manufacturer instructions for returning or replacing the feed.
Urea is a nitrogen source that can be toxic to cattle if consumed in excessive amounts or if not properly introduced into their diet. Inadvertent addition of undeclared urea poses a risk of urea poisoning, which can cause rapid onset of neurological symptoms, respiratory distress, and death in dairy cows.
