Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tennessee Farmers Cooperative has recalled approximately 8,372 units of various horse feeds, including Co-op Supreme Mare & Foal Developer and Equi-Mate 12, due to potential contamination with the drug Rumensin (monensin). These feeds, sold in 50-pound bags and bulk quantities, are distributed in Tennessee. Rumensin is a medication intended for cattle and other livestock but is not safe for equines. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them for a refund.

Risk

Rumensin (monensin) is highly toxic to horses and can cause permanent heart damage or death, even in small amounts. While no injuries have been specifically reported in this notice, the contamination of equine feed with this cattle drug poses a critical health risk to horses.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected horse feed by checking the product names and codes: Co-op Supreme Mare & Foal Developer (331), Co-op 11% Supreme Performance (328), Co-op 13% Supreme Performance (333), Army Horse Feed Coarse (335), and Co-op Equi-Mate 12 (93291).
  2. Immediately stop feeding any of these products to horses, mules, or other equine species.
  3. If your horse has consumed any of these feeds, contact your veterinarian immediately to monitor for signs of monensin poisoning, such as colic, weakness, or rapid heart rate.
  4. Return any unused portions of the affected feed to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  5. Contact Tennessee Farmers Cooperative at 200 Waldron Rd, LaVergne, Tennessee, 37086, for additional information regarding this recall.
  6. For further questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at 240-402-7002.
