Flubenol 5% w/w Premix for Medicated Feeding Stuff

For incorporation into dry feed at a registered mill.
A manufacturer who is approved to incorporate directly at any concentration,
veterinary medicinal products or premixtures containing such products, must be
responsible for mixing when incorporation is less than 2 kg per tonne for final feed.
Dosage
The standard recommended total dosage is 5 mg flubendazole per kg bodyweight.
The amount of the veterinary medicinal product to be incorporated should be
calculated according to the average bodyweight of the pigs to be treated.
Incorporation and dosing instructions
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be
grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid
under- or over-dosing.
As a guide, the following incorporation rates are suggested:
Standard dosing regime
Incorporation:
Add 600 g of the veterinary medicinal product to at least 5 kg of one of the feed
ingredients and mix well. Thoroughly mix this premix with the remaining ingredients
making in all one tonne of medicated feed, which can then be fed as mash or pellets.
This gives 30 mg flubendazole per kg of finished feed.
Breeding stock should be treated for 10 consecutive days. Weaners and fattening
pigs –should be treated for 5 consecutive days, or the event of a heavy Trichuris
infestation, for 10 consecutive days.
Variable dosing regime
To facilitate feeding for different lengths of time to suit the intervals between feed
deliveries, the standard dosage can be divided and administered over differing
periods of time, as shown below.
Incorporation:
Add the required amount of the veterinary medicinal product to at least 5kg of one of
the feed ingredients. Thoroughly mix this premix with the remaining ingredients
making in all one tonne of medicated feed, which can then be fed as mash or pellets.

Lungworm every 3 - 4 weeks
Nodular worm every 2 months
Large round worm every 2 months
