One lot of product contains elevated urea levels and should not be fed to animals
Purina Animal Nutrition is voluntarily recalling one lot of feed for cattle livestock and wildlife such as deer, antelope, and wild sheep due to the potential of elevated urea levels.
These products were distributed in Texas only.

Symptoms can include uneasiness, tremors, excess salivation, rapid breathing, incoordination, bloat, vomiting, twitching of ears and facial muscles, grinding of the teeth, abdominal pain, frequent urination, weakness, staggering, violent struggling and bellowing, and terminal spasms.
