Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What parasites does Safe-Guard Suspension 10% control in cattle?

Ans: Safe-Guard Suspension 10% is labeled for treatment and control of lungworms, stomach worms, and intestinal worms in beef and dairy cattle. Label indications include adult and certain larval stages of multiple nematodes when dosed accurately by body weight.

Q2: What parasites does Safe-Guard Suspension 10% treat in goats?

Ans: Safe-Guard Suspension 10% is labeled for treatment and control of specific stomach worms in goats, including important adult-stage parasites. Accurate weight-based oral dosing is crucial for achieving the labeled fenbendazole dose and ensuring reliable parasite control.

Q3: What is the active ingredient strength in Safe-Guard Suspension 10%?

Ans: Safe-Guard Suspension 10% contains fenbendazole at 100 mg per mL. The 10% concentration enables accurate measurement using mL dosing based on body weight, allowing livestock managers to deliver the labeled therapeutic dose consistently across animals.

Q4: What is the correct dose for Safe-Guard Suspension in cattle and goats?

Ans:  The labeled dose is 2.3 mg per lb (5 mg per kg) of body weight, given orally. This dose is achieved by administering 2.3 mL of suspension for each 100 lb of body weight.

Q5: Why is it essential not to underdose the fenbendazole suspension?

Ans: Underdosing can reduce treatment effectiveness and may encourage parasite resistance over time. Using current body weight and delivering a complete oral dose helps improve results and supports responsible parasite management programs for cattle and goats.

Q7: What are the milk withdrawal directions for dairy cattle and goats?

Ans: Milk taken from cows during treatment and for 48 hours after the last treatment must not be used for human consumption. A milk discard time has not been established for goats, so the product should not be used in lactating goats.

Q8: Can Safe-Guard Suspension 10% be used in young calves?

Ans: Safe-Guard Suspension 10% should not be used in beef calves under 2 months of age, dairy calves, or veal calves. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves, so labeled restrictions must be followed.

Ans: Administer Safe-Guard Suspension 10% orally using accurate measuring equipment. Dose each animal based on current body weight, ensure the full calculated volume is delivered, and follow herd veterinary guidance for timing and monitoring parasite control.
