Land O Lakes Purina LLC is recalling 618,114 units of various medicated pheasant, turkey, broiler, and chick feeds due to a formulation error where Vitamin D was entirely omitted from the products. The recall involves multiple brands including Purina, DuMor, and Land O Lakes across several product types like 'Honor Show Chow' and 'Chick Starter.' Affected products were distributed across 28 states between May and July 2012. Owners should return the affected feed to their place of purchase for a full refund.
The total absence of Vitamin D in these feeds can lead to serious health issues in developing birds, including metabolic bone disease, rickets, and poor growth. Without this essential nutrient, birds cannot properly absorb calcium and phosphorus, leading to weak or deformed bones and potentially death.
Return to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact the manufacturer for further instructions
