Safe-Guard® (fenbendazole)
En-Pro-Al Molasses Deworming Supplement Block (Medicated) is designed for
deworming pastured cattle by feeding these medicated blocks for three (3) days
only as the sole source of salt.
It is essential to establish full cattle
adaptation to supplemental block feeding prior to treating cattle with
Safe-Guard® En-Pro-AL® Molasses Deworming Block (Medicated). Cattle
behavior and per capita consumption must be established by feeding
non-medicated En-Pro-AL® Blocks prior to medicated block treatment.
Adaption to block feed intake for medicated treatment may take twelve (12) to
nineteen (19) days prior exposure to unmedicated feed blocks depending on
consumption rates and environmental conditions. When cattle block consumption
of 0.1 pound (1.6 oz) per 100 pounds of body weight (or 1.0 lb for mature
cattle) per day is attained for several days on the nonmedicated
En-Pro-AL® Block, the three (3) day medicated treatment with
Safe-Guard® En-Pro-AL® Molasses Deworming Supplement Blocks
(Medicated) may begin.
DOSAGE
1.67 mg fenbendazole per kg body weight per day for three (3)
days. Total dose for the three (3) day period of 5 mg fenbendazole per kg of
body weight (2.27 mg fenbendazole per pound).
Residue Warning
Cattle must not be slaughtered within 11 days following last treatment. Under
conditions of continued exposure to parasites, retreatment may be needed after
6 to 8 weeks.
