Tennessee Farmers Cooperative: Co-op Chick Starter/Grower Feed Recalled for Low Amprolium Levels

Agency Publication Date: December 8, 2005

Summary

Tennessee Farmers Cooperative is recalling 420 bags (50 pounds each) of Co-op Chick Starter/Grower, Medicated feed. The recall was initiated because the amount of the medication Amprolium in the feed is below the required specification. This product was distributed exclusively in Tennessee and was identified under recall number V-014-6.

Risk

Amprolium is a medication used to prevent and treat coccidiosis in poultry; levels below the specification may fail to provide the intended health protection for the chicks, potentially leading to untreated illness or outbreaks within a flock.

What You Should Do

Locate the product packaging for 'Co-op Chick Starter/Grower, Medicated' in 50-pound bags to determine if it is part of this recall.
Check the product label for Recall Number V-014-6 to confirm the feed is affected by the low Amprolium levels.
Immediately stop using the affected medicated feed for your poultry to ensure they receive the proper dosage of preventative medication.
Contact your veterinarian or a poultry health specialist if your chicks show signs of illness, as the feed may not have provided adequate protection against coccidiosis.
Return any unused portions of the 50-pound bags to the place of purchase for a refund or contact Tennessee Farmers Cooperative at their La Vergne facility for further instructions.
For additional information or questions regarding this recall, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-402-7002.
