Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What parasites does Safe-Guard® AquaSol treat in chickens?

Ans: Safe-Guard® AquaSol is labeled to treat common internal parasites in chickens, including large roundworms (Ascaridia galli) and cecal worms (Heterakis gallinarum). The product is administered through drinking water for flock-wide treatment.

Q2: What is the active ingredient in Safe-Guard® AquaSol?

Ans: Safe-Guard® AquaSol contains fenbendazole at 200 mg per mL. Fenbendazole is an anthelmintic used to treat specific intestinal worms in chickens when administered at the label dose through the drinking water program.

Q3: How long is the Safe-Guard® AquaSol treatment program?

Ans: The label program is a 5-day course. Chickens should receive medicated drinking water providing 1 mg fenbendazole per kg of body weight per day for five consecutive days to complete the treatment.

Q4: How is Safe-Guard® AquaSol administered to a flock?

Ans: Safe-Guard® AquaSol is mixed into the flock’s drinking water and offered as the only water source. Medicated water must be prepared fresh each day, and other water sources should be removed until the medicated water is consumed.

Q5: How much flock weight does the 3 mL vial treat?

Ans: One 3 mL vial is labeled to treat up to 264 lb of total flock body weight over the full 5-day program when mixed and administered according to directions. Accurate flock weight estimation is important for correct dosing.

Q6: Can Safe-Guard® AquaSol be used for small backyard flocks?

Ans: Safe-Guard® AquaSol can be used for backyard flocks when dosing calculations are accurate. The label notes the 3 mL vial is not recommended for flocks under 22 lb total body weight due to dosing precision limitations.

Q7: Is there an egg or meat withdrawal period with Safe-Guard® AquaSol?

Ans: When used as directed, Safe-Guard® AquaSol has a zero withdrawal period for eggs and meat. Following label directions for mixing, duration, and water-only access helps ensure compliant use in laying and meat birds.

Q8: Do chickens need access to other water during treatment?

Ans: No. During treatment, medicated water should be provided as the only water source until it is consumed. Removing alternative water sources helps ensure chickens receive the intended daily fenbendazole dose throughout the 5-day course.

Q9: What should be done if medicated water remains at the end of the day?

Ans: Medicated water should be prepared fresh daily and leftover medicated water should be discarded. Fresh daily preparation supports accurate dosing and helps maintain the intended concentration for each day of the 5-day program.
