Inadequate levels of vitamin D in a bird’s diet for more than two to three weeks may cause bone weakness, fractures, joint problems and potentially death if the birds are not exposed to direct sunlight daily, the company reported. Birds living outdoors may not experience symptoms due to the formation of natural vitamin D that occurs with exposure to a minimum of 30 minutes of direct sunlight daily, the company reported. The company has not received any reports of animal illnesses involving the recalled products. A formulation software conversion caused the issue, the company reported. The products were distributed nationwide and were manufactured between May 23 and July 20, 2012, at the company’s plants in Milford, Ind.; Nashville, Tenn.; and St. Joseph, Mo. The recalled products include: Formula No. Item Description Size Lot Code 781B 0016637 PURINA HONOR SHOW CHOW BROILER COMP AMP 0.0125% BMD50 MEDICATED 50 LB 2MAY23MFI12JUN12MFI12JUN11MFI32JUN14MFI32JUN20MFI32JUN28MFI32JUL06MFI12JUL16MFI3 801R 0017095 PURINA HONOR SHOW CHOW TURKEY GROW/FINISH BMD50 PELLET MEDICATED 50 LB 2MAY23MFI12MAY31MFI12JUN12MFI32JUN20MFI32JUN27MFI12JUL06MFI12JUL11MF132JUL18MFI1 801T 0017096 PURINA HONOR SHOW CHOW TURKEY STARTER AMP .0125% BMD50 MEDICATED 50 LB. 2MAY31MFI12JUN06MFI32JUN11MFI32JUN19MFI32JUN22MFI32JUL03MFI12JUL11MF132JUL13MFI1 60VA 0045400 DUMOR SHOW POULTRY AMP .0125% BMD 50 MEDICATED 40 LB. 2JUN11MFI32JUL11MFI32JUL18MFI1 60Y7 0046444 DUMOR POULTRY GROWER/FINISHER 15% 50 LB. 2MAY23MFI12MAY25STJ12MAY29MFI12MAY31MFI12JUN01MFI12JUN05MFI12JUN07NST1A12JUN08MFI12JUN13MFI12JUN14MFI12JUN18MFI32JUN20MFI32JUN22MFI12JUN29MFI12JUN29MFI32JUL09MFI32JUL09MFI12JUL17MFI32JUL20MFI32JUL18NST1A12JUL13NST2A12JUL06NST2A12JUL05NST2A12JUN28NST2A12JUN27NST1A12JUN21NST2A12JUN20NST1A12JUN18NST1A12JUN13NST2A12JUN12NST1A12JUL03STJ22JUN21STJ22JUN18STJ22JUN05STJ22MAY25STJ3 60X7 0046443 DUMOR CHICK STARTER 24% 50 LB. 2MAY30MFI12MAY31STJ12JUN05STJ22JUN13MFI12JUN22MFI12JUL11MFI32JUN13NST1A12JUN14NST1A12JUN19NST2AI2JUN20NST2A12JUL02NST2A12JUL03STJ22JUL16NST2A12JUL16STJ22JUN26STJ22JUN20STJ12MAY31STJ3 Lot numbers are printed on the sewing strip of each paper bag.

The company started recalling feed manufactured by its subsidiary PMI Nutrition on July 3, 2012, and added additional PMI products to the recall on July 6. On July 13, the company added a bevy of additional PMI products to the recall, along with feed manufactured by Purina Feed and Feed Solutions. The expansion continued July 20 with additional PMI Nutrition brands.Land O’Lakes did not respond immediately to a request for comment. <HOME>http://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/images/vpn-tab-image/recall-shelf-250px.jpg7/30/2012 1:48 PM
