Due to high levels of copper, ADM Alliance Nutrition, Inc. is recalling 50-pound bags of MoorMan's^® ShowTec^® 18 Elite Lamb DC, product number 80939MPS.

There are three lot numbers involved in this recall: BF23512, BF27812, and BF29312. These were distributed between August 24, 2012, and November 21, 2012. The product could have been purchased directly from Alliance Nutrition or through distributors.

Copper toxicity in sheep may lead to lethargy, anaemia, constant teeth grinding, extreme thirst, jaundice, dark brown or red urine, diarrhoea, difficulty in breathing, weakness, recumbency and/or death.

The recalled sheep feed was shipped to distributors and customers in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The high copper levels were discovered as a result of an investigation stemming from a report of two sheep deaths. The lot number, BF23512, BF27812, or BF29312, can be found at the bottom of the label.
