Cargill, Inc., Animal Nutrition Division is recalling approximately 1,090 bags (50 lbs each) of Sprout Chick Starter Grower Medicated Crumble because the product is missing one of its labeled active drug ingredients, Ethopabate. The product was intended to contain 0.0004% Ethopabate but was found to contain none, meaning the feed will not provide the medicinal benefits promised on the label. This poultry feed was distributed through Mills Fleet Farm stores across Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Owners should contact their veterinarian or the manufacturer for guidance and return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The absence of Ethopabate means the medicated feed cannot effectively prevent or treat the specific poultry infections it was designed to manage. This lack of active medication could lead to untreated illness or health complications in chicks that require this specific drug for growth and protection.
