To ensure a correct dosage, 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.
The intake of medicated feed depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage, the concentration of fenbendazole may need to be adjusted accordingly.
For incorporation into dry feed at the registered mill.
A manufacturer who is approved to incorporate veterinary medicinal products, or premixtures containing such veterinary medicinal products, directly at any concentration, must be responsible for mixing when incorporation is less than 2 kg per tonne for final feed.
To ensure adequate distribution of the veterinary medicinal product in the final feed it is recommended to premix the veterinary medicinal 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 °C.
Not to be mixed in liquid feed.
