Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Gilman Cooperative Creamery Association has recalled approximately 2,000 lbs. of Blend 985 Horse Mix Start because it may contain Monensin residue. Monensin is a medication commonly used in cattle and poultry feed that is highly toxic to horses. This voluntary recall was initiated after it was discovered that residue from other feed production may have contaminated this specific batch of horse feed. Consumers who purchased this feed in Minnesota should look for Ticket # 445 on their documentation to identify the affected product.

Risk

Monensin is extremely poisonous to horses; even small amounts can cause permanent heart damage or death. While no specific horse injuries have been reported in this notice, exposure to Monensin residue in feed can lead to colic, racing heart, respiratory distress, and muscle weakness in equines.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your purchase records or feed tags for 'Blend 985 Horse Mix Start' with Ticket # 445.
  2. Stop using the recalled horse feed immediately and ensure it is kept out of reach of all horses and other equines.
  3. Return any unused portion of the feed to Gilman Cooperative Creamery Association at 9920 115th Street NE, Gilman, Minnesota, 56333, for a full refund.
  4. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your horse has consumed this feed and shows signs of illness such as weakness, rapid heart rate, or abdominal pain.
  5. For more information, contact the Gilman Cooperative Creamery Association directly or call the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
