For oral administration only after incorporation in feed.
The product is suitable for flock medication of chickens and pheasants.
The daily dose is 1 mg fenbendazole per kg b.w. per day administered in feed for 5 consecutive days.
For the preparation of medicated feed:
1 mg fenbendazole per kg bw per day corresponds to 0.025 g ‘Gallifen 40 mg/g premix’ per kg bw per day.
For the preparation of the medicated feed the body weight of the animals to be treated and their actual daily intake of feed should be taken into account.
To provide the required amount of fenbendazole per kg medicated feed the premix has to be incorporated into the feed according to the following formula:
0.025g product per kg b.w. daily x average bodyweight (kg) of animals to be treated | = g product per kg feed |
average daily feed intake per animal (kg) |
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 for 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 105 °C.
Not to be mixed in liquid feed.
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
The uptake of medicated feed depends on the clinical condition of the animals and environmental factors. The feed intake should be monitored regularly and the incorporation rate adjusted accordingly in order to guarantee an intake of 1 mg fenbendazole per kg bodyweight per day.
Withdrawal periods:
Meat and offal: 8 days. Do not release pheasants for shooting for at least 8 days after the end of medication.
Eggs: zero days.
