QUINCY, ILLINOIS, US — ADM Animal Nutrition has expanded its feed products recall that was announced March 30 to include 17 additional lots of chicken, swine and rabbit feed products due to elevated levels of magnesium, sodium, calcium and/or phosphorus.

Elevated levels of sodium can cause increased water consumption, reduced feed efficiency, egg production and growth rate and can be fatal in chickens. Elevated levels of calcium and/or phosphorus can cause reduced feed intake and feed conversion in swine, and elevated levels of magnesium and sodium can cause loose stools, reduced growth rate, and weakness in rabbits.

Additional products included in the recall include:

• Pen Pals Chicken Starter-Grower (Product Nos. 70009AAA46 and 70009AAA44)
• Pen Pals Egg Maker Complete (Product No. 70010AAAE4)
• MaxLean GF Concentrate (Product No. 12354AAA)
• ShowTec Sow Ration with Thermal Care (Product No. 12343AAA)

• ShowTec Hi Fat 18 BMD (Product No. 18007AGNE4)

• Pen Pals Professional Rabbit 18 (Product No. 80033AAA).

Four customers have reported complaints related to consumption of ShowTec BB 18 BMD – three related to low consumption and one reporting the animal refused to eat and is having belly pain. Three customers have complained about low consumption related to Pen Pals Professional Rabbit 18, and one customer complained about low consumption related to MoorMan’s ShowTec Sale Burst w/DF CTC/DEN.

The initial recall followed a customer complaint related to swine refusing to eat feed from a single lot of MoorMan’s ShowTec Sale Burst w/DF DEN. ADM immediately investigated and discovered that the company’s animal feed manufacturing facility in Quincy, Illinois, US, experienced an equipment failure issue that affected ingredient distribution in the plant. The company quickly initiated the recall once it was confirmed that these specific lots could contain harmful levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and/or chloride.

ADM has been in direct contact with the customers and distributors involved in this recall, and all product has been removed from retail shelves.
