FDA 483 - Leatherbrook Holsteins, LLC - June 10, 2022

An FDA inspection of Leatherbrook Holsteins, LLC in Americus, GA, revealed significant issues with extralabel drug use, failure to observe proper withdrawal periods, and incomplete treatment records. These deficiencies resulted in a cow being sent to slaughter with violative levels of desfuroylceftiofur residue. The findings indicate a serious lack of control over drug administration and record review for food-producing animals.
