Indications
Flubendazole is a broad spectrum anthelmintic, effective against mature and immature stages of the following nematodes of the gastro-intestinal tract:
Ascaris suum, (large roundworm) including migrating larvae, Hyostrongylus rubidus, (red stomach worm), Oesophagostomum dentatum (nodular worm), Trichuris suis (whipworm) and Strongyloides ransomi (threadworm) (adult).
Flubendazole is ovicidal.
Dose to be administered and administration route
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
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 overdosing.
Individual treatment (single administration):
i. Dosage:
Add 1 g of the veterinary medicinal product for each 10 kg bodyweight onto the finished feed, as a single animal dose. (This is equivalent to 5 mg of flubendazole per one kg bodyweight). One 13 g measuring spoon treats one 130 kg sow.
ii. Treatment frequency:
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. Regular faecal examination is advocated to know which worms are present on the farm so that specific measures may be taken to prevent reinfection.
iii. Treatment of clinical worm infestations:
| Treat relevant infestations at the following intervals: | ||
| Nodular worm (Oesophagostomum dentatum) - | every 2 months | |
| Large roundworm (Ascaris suum) - | every 2 months | |
| Red stomach worm (Hyostrongylus rubidus) - | every month | |
| Whipworm (Trichuris suis) - | every 6 weeks. | |
