Species
Pigs
Indications
Flubendazole is a broad spectrum anthelmintic for oral administration, active against mature and immature stages of the following nematodes of the gastro-intestinal tract of the pig:
Ascaris suum (large roundworm)
Hyostrongylus rubidus (red stomach worm)
Oesophagostomum dentatum (nodular worm)
Trichuris suis (whip worm)
Strongyloides ransomi (threadworm) (adult).
Metastrongylus apri (lungworm).
Flubendazole is ovicidal.
Dose to be administered and administration route
For oral administration only.
For incorporation into dry feed at a registered mill.
A manufacturer who is approved to incorporate directly at any concentration, veterinary medicinal products or premixtures containing such products, must be responsible for mixing when incorporation is less than 2 kg per tonne for final feed.
Dosage
The standard recommended total dosage is 5 mg flubendazole per kg bodyweight.
The amount of product to be incorporated should be calculated according to the average bodyweight of the pigs to be treated.
Incorporation and dosing instructions
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or over-dosing.
As a guide, the following incorporation rates are suggested:
Standard dosing regime
Incorporation:
Add 600 g of Flubenol 5 %w/w Premix to at least 5 kg of one of the feed ingredients and mix well. Thoroughly mix this premix with the remaining ingredients making in all one tonne of medicated feed, which can then be fed as mash or pellets. This gives 30 mg flubendazole per kg of finished feed.
Breeding stock should be treated for 10 consecutive days. Weaners and fattening pigs –should be treated for 5 consecutive days, or the event of a heavy Trichuris infestation, for 10 consecutive days.
Variable dosing regime
To facilitate feeding for different lengths of time to suit the intervals between feed deliveries, the standard dosage can be divided and administered over differing periods of time, as shown below.
Incorporation:
Add the required amount of Flubenol 5% Premix to at least 5kg of one of the feed ingredients. Thoroughly mix this premix with the remaining ingredients making in all one tonne of medicated feed, which can then be fed as mash or pellets.

In the event of a heavy Trichuris infestation, use 600 g/tonne (30 mg/kg final feed) for 10 days.
Treatment frequency:
Pigs should be treated twice a year unless recommended otherwise by a veterinary surgeon. Pigs brought onto the premises should be treated on arrival and before mixing with other animals.
Treatment of clinical worm infestations:
Treat relevant infestations at the following intervals:
|
Lungworm |
every 3 - 4 weeks |
|
Nodular worm |
every 2 months |
|
Large round worm |
every 2 months |
|
Red stomach worm |
every month |
|
Whipworm |
every 6 weeks |
