Dosing and Administration Instructions

This medicated product is designed to be fed for one (1) day.

• Dosing Rate: The standard dose is 5 mg of fenbendazole per kg of body weight. These pellets are formulated to deliver this dose when fed according to the rate below.
• Feeding Rate: Feed 1 lb of pellets per 2,000 lbs of total body weight. (This is equivalent to 0.5 lbs per 1,000 lbs).
• Application: Can be fed as a top-dress on grain or silage in a feed bunk, or mixed into a total mixed ration (TMR). Ensure all animals have adequate bunk space to consume their share within 6-8 hours.

Example Dosing for a Group of Twenty (20) 750-lb Steers:

1. Total weight = 20 steers x 750 lbs/steer = 15,000 lbs.
2. Total dose needed = (15,000 lbs / 2,000 lbs) x 1 lb of pellets = 7.5 lbs of pellets.
3. Mix the 7.5 lbs of pellets evenly into the total daily feed ration for the pen.
