Dosage

The prescribed dosage for horses is 50 milligrams of piperazine base (119 milligrams of Piperazine Phosphate) per pound of body weight. Each pack contains 7.5 ounces by weight, enough to treat an adult horse weighing 900 pounds.

Table Of Recommended Dosages

Approx. 300 lbs.

2.50 oz.

Approx. 600 lbs.

5.00 oz.

Adult Horses

Approx. 900 lbs.

For horses over 900 lbs. in weight, increase dosage proportionately according to the above table.

Treatment

Dose each horse individually. Carefully determine the weight of the animal to be treated and determine the correct dosage. Mix Alfalfa Pellet Wormer thoroughly with the amount of grain your horse will consume in a single feeding. Do not give the horse additional feed that day until the treated feed is fully consumed. If the horse won't eat the medication, add liquid molasses.

Note

Horses are constantly subject to reinfestation, particularly through grazing in confined pastures. Therefore, periodic worming and good stable sanitation are essential. For most effective control of internal parasites, use Alfalfa Pellet Wormer every eight to ten weeks.

Ingredients

Piperazine, dehydrated alfalfa and artificial flavors.
