SAFE-GUARD (fenbendazole) Suspension 125 mL (goats only)

Goats and stomach worms go together, and a drench that goes in fast and accurate keeps deworming day short. SAFE-GUARD Suspension is made for goats, and it's given by mouth. The dose is 2.3 mL for each 100 lb of body weight, so the number you need comes from the scale, not a guess.

The suspension is a small volume, so you're not fighting a mouthful of liquid in a pen. It is used as an aid in the removal and control of adult stomach worms in goats. Retreatment may be needed after 4 to 6 weeks if there's continued exposure to parasites.

Why choose a measured drench for goats

A measured oral dose goes where you aim it, and that matters in a pen full of moving goats. Weight drives the dose, so each goat gets its own number. A kid that's grown, a doe that's gained condition and a buck that's put on weight each need a fresh weigh-in before the drench comes out.

Pick this for a homestead with a few goats, a small herd that runs on pasture, or any setup where deworming is part of the routine. A quick, measured drench makes the job easier on you and on the goats.

How to use it

Weigh each goat before you dose it. The rate is 2.3 mL for each 100 lb of body weight.

1. Weigh the goat, or use a livestock scale, and work out the dose.
2. Shake well, then draw the calculated dose into a dosing syringe.
3. Give it by mouth.
4. Retreatment may be needed after 4 to 6 weeks if there's continued exposure to parasites.

Do not slaughter treated goats for food within 6 days after treatment. Do not use in lactating goats.

Good to know

• A fecal egg count from your veterinarian shows which worms the herd carries and how many. That's the best way to know whether a drench is the right move this season.
• Weigh every goat on the day you dose it. Goats gain and lose weight quickly, and an old weight means a wrong dose.
• Clean the dosing syringe between goats so one goat's dose doesn't carry into the next pen.
• Keep your veterinarian involved in the plan. The veterinarian decides how often to deworm and which product fits the herd.

Cautions

Goats must not be slaughtered for human consumption within 6 days following treatment.

Because a milk discard time has not been established, do not use in lactating goats.

Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.

NOT FOR USE IN HUMANS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Keep one bottle on hand so deworming day never waits on a trip to town.
