April 11 (Reuters) - Archer-Daniels-Midland ( ADM ) said
on Thursday its division is expanding a recall to include 17
additional lots of chicken, swine and rabbit feed products due
to elevated levels of magnesium, sodium, calcium and/or
phosphorus that may harm the animals.
ADM Animal Nutrition in late March had recalled select Pen
Pals chicken feed, MoorMan's ShowTec swine feed, AMPT cattle
feed and Seniorglo horse feed products.
Elevated levels of sodium can cause reduced feed efficiency
and egg production, among others, and can be fatal in chickens,
while elevated levels of calcium and/or phosphorus can cause
reduced feed intake and feed conversion in swine.
Elevated levels of magnesium and sodium can cause reduced
growth rate and weakness in rabbits.
Shares of ADM closed nearly 2% down on Thursday.
