Solubenol 100 mg/g Oral Emulsion
Dosage and administration
Chickens (laying hens, breeders and pullets)
1.43 mg flubendazole per kg body weight daily via oral administration, i.e. 1 g of the product per 70 kg body weight daily for 7 days.
Pigs
1 mg flubendazole per kg body weight daily via oral administration, i.e. 1 g of the product per 100 kg body weight daily for 5 days.
In pigs, ensure animals to be treated are grouped by weight. Dose to the heaviest animal in the group. This will avoid overdosing smaller pigs which may lead to residue violations. Calculate the dosage accurately with the following formula:
Administration in drinking water
1) The required quantity of the product is a function of the estimated body weight of the total group of animals (see table below for guidance).
2) Each day prepare a predilution containing the daily required dose of the product mixed in 10 to 100 times its weight in water (depending on the distribution system). For example: 500 g of the product can be added to between 5 and 50 litres of water.
3) Squeeze the sachet gently before use and then empty the contents into the predilution container.
4) Stir the predilution vigorously with a manual mixer (whisk) for at least 3 minutes to obtain a white milky homogenous mixture.
5) This predilution must be distributed via the general water supply system:
Tanks: add the predilution to the quantity of water usually consumed by the animals over a period of 4 hours, homogenize the contents of the reservoir at least every 30 minutes with an electric or manual mixer.
Dosing pumps: adjust the flow rate of the pump to distribute the predilution over a period of 4 hours. Homogenize the predilution every 30 minutes with an automatic mixer or manually.
In order to ensure administration of the correct dose, a substantial water flow must be present in the drinking water system and mixing of the solution in the delivery system (tank or dosing pump) is essential during application. Administration of the product over a period of up to 4 hours on each treatment day, at times when water consumption is likely to be highest, prevents precipitation of flubendazole in the water delivery system and allows washing out of the drinking water system within a 24 hour period after the period of drug administration is finished.
6) Prior to and after the period of treatment make sure the water distribution system is cleaned.
7) Make sure that all animals in the group receive enough drinking water containing the product. Withhold drinking water for 2 hours before treatment to stimulate thirst.
The corresponding dose must always be distributed when the water consumption of the animals is highest.
