Using the active ingredient Fenbendazole, Safe-guard works differently than other de-wormers. Parasites cannot excrete fenbendazole. When cattle ingest small amounts of safeguard feed products over the course of a few feedings, they quickly build up to a lethal dose for any parasites that may be there. This means even if you choose to on of the 'non-handling' formulations, you can still be sure cattle are receiving an effective dose. For all formulations of Safe-guard, the average FECRT (fecal egg count reduction test) efficacy is 91-98.7%.
For use in cattle and goats. Any use of product that is not clearly defined on the label should be done under the supervision and instruction of a qualified veterinarian.
