For use in drinking water.
Shake well before use.
To ensure administration of the correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
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.
The uptake of medicated water depends on age and clinical conditions of the birds, ambient temperature and light regime. In order to obtain the correct dosage concentration of the product should be adjusted accordingly.
Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum: The dose is 1.0 mg fenbendazole per kg body weight per day (equivalent to 0.005 ml of the product). This dose has to be administered on 5 consecutive days.
Capillaria obsignata: The dose is 2.0 mg fenbendazole per kg body weight per day (equivalent to 0.01 ml of the product). This dose has to be administered on 5 consecutive days.
Dose calculation:
The required daily amount of product is calculated from the total estimated body weight (kg) of the entire group of chickens or pheasants to be treated. Please use the following formula:
Treatment of Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum:
ml product/day = total estimated body weight (kg) of chickens/pheasants to be treated x 0.005 ml
Treatment of Capillaria obsignata:
ml product/day = total estimated body weight (kg) of chickens to be treated x 0.01 ml
Follow the instructions described below to prepare the medicated water. Use a sufficiently accurate commercially available measuring device.
For each treatment day the medicated water needs to be freshly prepared.
For use in a medication tank:
For use in chickens, add the calculated amount of product to 40-80% of the daily water ration. For use in pheasants, add the calculated amount of product to 40% of the daily water ration. 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 calculated amount of product 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 40 to 80% of the chickens’ daily water ration or 40% of the pheasants’ daily water ration. Stir until content in the stock suspension container is visibly homogeneous. The medicated water appears hazy.
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 un-medicated drinking water as soon as possible.
Ensure that the total amount of medicated water offered is consumed.
