Tennessee Farmers Cooperative: Medicated Pelleted Goat Ration Recalled for Low Decoquinate Levels

Agency Publication Date: December 8, 2005

Summary

Tennessee Farmers Cooperative has recalled 134 bags of Co-op 16% Pelleted Goat Ration - DEC, Medicated. The recall was issued because the level of decoquinate, a medication used to prevent parasitic infections, was below the required specification. This 50-pound bagged feed was distributed in Tennessee and North Carolina. Because the medication levels are lower than intended, the feed may not effectively protect goats from disease, and consumers should contact a veterinarian regarding their animals' health.

Risk

Low levels of decoquinate in goat feed can fail to prevent coccidiosis, a parasitic intestinal disease. This can lead to serious health issues in goats, including severe diarrhea, weight loss, and potential death if the infection is not properly managed.

What You Should Do

Identify the affected product by checking the bag label for 'Co-op 16% Pelleted Goat Ration - DEC, Medicated' in 50-pound bags.
Verify if your product is part of this recall by looking for Recall Number V-015-6 on the packaging or purchase records.
Stop using this specific batch of feed immediately to ensure your goats receive the proper amount of medication needed for disease prevention.
Contact your veterinarian to discuss your goats' health and determine if alternative preventative measures or treatments for coccidiosis are necessary.
Return any unused bags of the recalled feed to the place of purchase for a full refund, or contact Tennessee Farmers Cooperative at their La Vergne, TN office at 180 Old Nashville Hwy for further instructions.
