Safe-Guard Equi-Bits Dewormer Pellets, 1.25 lb

Safe-Guard Equi-Bits by Merck is a convenient and effective solution for deworming horses. These alfalfa-based pellets allow you to feed and deworm your horse in a single step. The active ingredient, fenbendazole, targets and controls various types of equine parasites including large and small strongyles, pinworms, and ascarids.

Key Benefits:

• Dual Function: Combines feeding and deworming into one easy step.
• Effective Against Parasites: Controls large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms, and ascarids.
• Safe for All Horses: Suitable for foals, pregnant mares, stallions, weanlings, and yearlings.
• Palatable: Alfalfa-based pellets are readily consumed by horses.

Dosage Instructions:

• Standard Treatment: Administer 5 mg of fenbendazole per kg of body weight (2.27 mg per pound) as a one-day treatment. For example, a 1.25 lb bag treats a horse weighing 1250 lbs.
• For Ascarids: Use 10 mg of fenbendazole per kg of body weight (4.54 mg per pound) as a one-day treatment, which means the same 1.25 lb bag will treat a horse weighing 625 lbs.
• Feeding: Ensure the pellets are spread uniformly on top of the daily feed ration. Horses must be eating normally to ensure they consume the medicated feed adequately.

Usage Note:

• It's important that horses are eating normally before administering the pellets to ensure they consume the necessary dosage of the medicated feed.
