Yachere Feed, Inc.: Medicated Calf Starter Recalled for Missing Active Drug Ingredient

Agency Publication Date: July 11, 2012

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Yachere Feed, Inc. is recalling 268 bags (50 lbs each) of its 19% Calf Starter Medicated feed because it does not contain the active drug ingredient Lasalocid as stated on the label. This voluntary recall was initiated after an inspection revealed the medication was missing from the product. The affected feed was sold directly to farms in Fayette and Somerset Counties, Pennsylvania, and to one account in Maryland. Consumers who purchased this feed for their calves should be aware that the animals are not receiving the intended medication.

Risk

The absence of Lasalocid means calves are not receiving the medication intended to prevent coccidiosis, an intestinal disease. This lack of treatment can lead to decreased growth rates or illness in young cattle if the condition is left unmanaged.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your supply for 50-pound bags of Yachere 19% Calf Starter Medicated feed labeled as containing Lasalocid (47.4 g/ton).
  2. Verify if your feed was purchased from Yachere Feed, Inc. located at 415 Somerset Ave., Rockwood, PA 15557.
  3. Immediately contact your veterinarian or animal healthcare provider to discuss alternative medication or treatment plans for your calves since this feed does not contain the necessary active ingredient.
  4. Return any unused or unopened bags of the affected calf starter to Yachere Feed, Inc. or your place of purchase for a full refund.
  5. Contact Yachere Feed, Inc. directly at their Rockwood, Pennsylvania location for further instructions regarding this recall.
  6. For additional questions, contact the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine at 1-240-402-7002.
