At elevated levels, monensin can be toxic to cattle and can cause colic-like symptoms, hypokalemia, myoglobinuria, chronic cardiovascular issues, and possible death.

 

The product was distributed in the US between January 19 and February 2 this year. It could have been purchased directly from ADM Animal Nutrition or through one of the three distributors including Midwest Fertilizer, Inc. in Iola, Kansas; CW Feeds in Wichita, Kansas, and Northtown Ace in Mountain Grove, Missouri.
 
ADM Animal Nutrition received reports from two customers claiming the feed may have resulted in animal death on their respective farms.

 

The company immediately began investigating and initiated the recall upon receiving confirmation that the feed contained elevated levels of monensin due to a temporary breakdown in the packaging process, which has now been corrected.

 

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

 

ADM is also working directly with the customers involved.
