ADM Animal Nutrition, a division of ADM, has expanded its previous recall on April 1 for various chickens, swine, beef cattle, and equine feed.
Specific lots may contain 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.
