Feeding Instructions:

Dosage & Administration:

Safe-Guard AquaSol must be administered orally to chickens via the drinking water at a daily dose of 1 mg/kg BW (0.454 mg/lb) for 5 consecutive days. The medicated water must be prepared daily before each administration. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in diagnosing, treating, and controlling parasitism.

1. Agitate the vial containing Safe-Guard AquaSol (fenbendazole oral suspension) for approximately 10 sec.
2. Attach the provided syringe to the vial cap while keeping the container upright. Use only the syringe supplied for the preparation of the medicated water.
3. Leave the syringe attached to the vial and turn both upside down. Hold the syringe and vial firmly in one hand. With your free hand, pull the plunger to withdraw the correct amount of Safe-Guard AquaSol into the syringe. Before you remove the syringe from the vial, check the syringe for air bubbles. If there are air bubbles in the syringe, proceed to Step d. If there are no air bubbles in the syringe, proceed to Step E.
4. If bubbles are in the syringe, hold the syringe and vial upside down and tap the side of the syringe until the bubbles float to the top. Push the bubbles out with the plunger back into the vial. If needed, draw more Safe-Guard® AquaSol until you have the correct dose. Confirm that there are no air bubbles in the syringe before proceeding to Step E.
5. Detach the syringe from the cap and fully dispense its contents into the mixing container that contains the measured volume of drinking water. Do not submerge or allow the syringe to come in contact with the water. Mix well by stirring until the medicated water appears uniformly hazy.

Each treatment day, empty all the flocks’ waterers before adding the medicated water. Provide this medicated water to your birds first thing in the morning, when it is at its peak of consumption. If you have more than one waterer, distribute the total volume of medicated water in equal parts among the waterers. During treatment, all birds must have unrestricted access to the medicated water and no access to other sources of water. After complete consumption of the medicated water, the animals should have access to non-medicated drinking water ad libitum. Ensure that the total amount of medicated water offered is consumed.
