In drinking water use.

Underdosing could result in ineffective use and may favour resistance development. To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.

Accuracy of the dosing device should be thoroughly checked.

Before allowing animals to have access to the medicated water, the water delivery system should be drained, if possible, and flushed with the medicated water to ensure accuracy of dosing. This procedure may need to be performed on all treatment days.

Pigs:

The dose is 2.5 mg fenbendazole per kg body weight per day (equivalent to

0.0125 ml the veterinary medicinal product). For the treatment and control of Ascaris suum and Oesophagostomum spp. this dose has to be administered on 2 consecutive days. For the treatment and control of Trichuris suis the dose has to be administered on 3 consecutive days.

Dose calculation:

The required daily amount of veterinary medicinal product is calculated from the total estimated body weight (kg) of the entire group of pigs to be treated. Please use the following formula: ml veterinary medicinal product/day = Total estimated body weight (kg) of pigs to be treated x 0.0125 ml Examples:

Chickens:

Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum: 1 mg fenbendazole per kg body weight per day (equivalent to 0.005 mlof the veterinary medicinal product) for 5 consecutive days.

Capillaria spp.: 2 mg fenbendazole per kg body weight per day (equivalent to 0.01 mlof the veterinary medicinal product) for 5 consecutive days.

Dose calculation:

The required daily amount of veterinary medicinal product is calculated from the total estimated body weight (kg) of the entire group of chickens to be treated. Please use the following formula:

Treatment of Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum: ml veterinary medicinal product/day = Total estimated body weight (kg) of chicken to be treated x 0.005 ml Treatment of Capillaria spp. ml veterinary medicinal product/day = Total estimated body weight (kg) of chicken to be treated x 0.01 ml Examples:

Follow the instructions in the order described below to prepare the medicated water. Use a sufficiently accurate measuring device, which should be properly cleaned after use.

For each treatment day the medicated water needs to be freshly prepared. Prepare a predilution of the veterinary medicinal product with an equal amount of water:

1) Select a measuring device that has at least double volume of the calculated daily veterinary medicinal product volume.

2) Pour a volume of water equal to the calculated volume of veterinary medicinal product needed into the measuring device.

3) Shake the veterinary medicinal product well before mixing.

4) Fill up the measuring device containing the water with the calculated volume of the veterinary medicinal product to obtain the predilution.

5) Add the obtained predilution to the water supply system as described below.

For use in medication tank:

Add the entire content of the measuring device (predilution) to the volume of drinking water usually consumed by the animals in between 3 to 24 hours.

Stir until content in the medication tank is visibly homogeneous. The medicated water appears hazy. No further stirring during administration is necessary.

For use in dosing pump:

Add the entire content of the measuring device (predilution) to the unmedicated water in the stock suspension container of the dosing pump. The volume of unmedicated water in the stock suspension container has to be calculated taking as a basis the preset injection rate of the dosing pump and the volume of drinking water usually consumed by the animals in between 3 and 24 hours.

Stir until content in the stock suspension container is visibly homogeneous. The medicated water appears hazy.

At concentrations of up to 5 ml/l stock suspension (1 g fenbendazole/l) no stirring is required.

At concentrations above 5 ml/l stock suspension and up to 75 ml/l stock suspension (15 g fenbendazole/l) and within an administration period of up to 8 hours no stirring of the stock suspension is required. If the administration period exceeds 8 hours, but being no longer than 24 hours, the stock suspension container needs to be equipped with a stirring device.

During treatment all animals must have solely but unrestricted access to the medicated water.

During treatment, after complete consumption of the medicated water, animals must be allowed access to unmedicated drinking water as soon as possible. Ensure that the total amount of medicated water offered is consumed.
