Examples of Feeding Rates for Safe-Guard^® 0.5% (fenbendazole) Type C Top-Dress Medicated Feed Pellets

Do not underdose. Ensure each animal receives a complete dose based on a current body weight. Underdosing may result in ineffective treatment and encourage the development of parasite resistance.

Feed for one (1) day. No prior withdrawal of feed or water necessary. When feed containing Safe-Guard^® has been fed for 1 day according to the above rates, a total intake of 2.27 mg fenbendazole per pound of body weight is assured.

Store at or below 25 °C (77 °F).

Excursions up to 40 °C (104 °F) are permitted.

GENERAL USE DIRECTIONS:

Safe-Guard Cattle Top Dress Pellets must be spread uniformly on top of the daily ration. Sufficient bunk space must be available so all animals can eat at the same time to ensure uniform consumption of the pellets. All cattle must be eating normally to ensure that each animal consumes an adequate amount of the pellets.

WARNING: KEEP THIS AND ALL DRUGS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. NOT FOR USE IN HUMANS. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contains more detailed occupational safety information. For customer service, adverse effects reporting, and/or a copy of the SDS, call 1-800-211-3573. For additional information about adverse drug experience reporting for animal drugs, contact FDA at 1-888-FDAVETS, or http://www.fda.gov/reportanimalae.

OTHER WARNINGS: Parasite resistance may develop to any dewormer, and has been reported for most classes of dewormers. Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance. Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd, prior to the use of any dewormer. Following the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method). A decrease in a drug’s effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring.
