MINNEAPOLIS — Cargill's animal nutrition business has announced a voluntary recall of its Nutrena NatureWise meatbird feed due to excess levels of sodium.
While sodium is an essential nutrient for poultry, excess levels of sodium in diets for meatbirds may result in pulmonary hypertension, increased mortality, reduced growth rate, increased water consumption, wet droppings and wet litter. Consumption of the affected feeds may have contributed to poultry illness and death. Customers should call their veterinarian if their animals have experienced adverse health effects while consuming the affected product.
The affected products were manufactured at Cargill's West Branch, Iowa, facility. . .
