Suther Feeds Inc: Excel-R-Ate L Mixer Medicated Feed Recalled for Low Drug Potency

Agency Publication Date: April 10, 2007

Summary

Suther Feeds Inc has recalled 50 bags of Excel-R-Ate L Mixer Medicated feed because the product is subpotent, meaning it contains less than the required amount of the medication Lincomycin (177.78 g/ton). The recall affects 50-lb. bags distributed to a single farm in Kansas. Because the feed does not contain the correct level of medication, it may not effectively treat or prevent the health conditions for which it was prescribed for the animals.

Risk

The subpotent medication in the feed may lead to inadequate treatment or prevention of infections in livestock. This could result in the worsening of animal health conditions or the failure to manage a disease outbreak within the herd.

What You Should Do

Identify the affected product by checking the label for 'Suther Feeds Excel-R-Ate L Mixer Medicated' in 50-lb. bags.
Check the manufacturer information on the label to ensure it reads 'Suther Feeds, Inc., Frankfort, KS'.
Immediately stop using this medicated feed and segregate any remaining 50-lb. bags to prevent further use.
Contact your veterinarian to discuss alternative treatment plans for any animals that have been consuming this subpotent feed.
Return any unused bags of the medicated mixer to the place of purchase or contact Suther Feeds Inc at 105 S Kansas Ave, Frankfort, Kansas, 66427 for instructions on a refund and disposal.
