Pigfen

Oral use. In-feed use.

The product is suitable for herd medication of pigs. Administer at a dose rate of 5 mg fenbendazole per kg bodyweight.

May be administered to pigs either as a single dose of 5 mg/kg (migrating larval, intestinal larval and adult stages) or by divided dose of 0.72 mg/kg over 7 days (intestinal larval and adult stages) or 0.36 mg/kg over 14 days (intestinal larval and adult stages).

Single dose treatment

Use the following formula to calculate how much product to add per tonne of feed:

	Kg Powder per tonne	=	Bodyweight (kg)
			(Daily feed intake (kg) x 8)

7 day treatment

The standard dose rate can be divided and administered in feed over 7 days. Use the following formula to calculate how much product to add per tonne of feed:

	Kg Powder per tonne	=	Bodyweight (kg)
			(Daily feed intake (kg) x 56)

14 day treatment

The standard dose rate can be divided and administered in feed over 14 days. Use the following formula to calculate how much product to add per tonne of feed:

	Kg Powder per tonne	=	Bodyweight (kg)
			(Daily feed intake (kg) x 112)

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.

For incorporation into dry feed at the registered mill.

A manufacturer who is approved to incorporate veterinary medicinal products, or premixtures containing such products, directly at any concentration, must be responsible mixing when incorporation is less than 2 kg per tonne for final feed.

To ensure adequate distribution of the product in the final feed it is recommended to premix the product at a ratio of 1:10 with feed ingredients before blending into the final feed.

If the premix is used for supplementation of pelleted feed, the pelleting temperature should not exceed 85 °.

Not to be mixed in liquid feed.
