Introducing Safe-Guard Equi-bits (fenbendazole), the alfalfa-based pellet that lets you feed and deworm in a single step.

Armed with fenbendazole, the active ingredient in all Safe-Guard products, Equi-bits pellets control large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms and ascarids.  Safe-Guard Equi-bits is safe for horses, including foals and pregnant mares. 

This single dose treatment makes rotational deworming a breeze!

Just combine these palatable pellets with your ration of choice. 

On deworming day, replace your usual daily ration with an amount

equal to the pellets provided in the handy foil pouch.  Safe-Guard

Equi-bits does the rest.  One pouch will treat 1,250 lbs. (body weight)

horse in one meal.

All horses must be eating normally to ensure that each animal consumes an adequate amount of the medicated feed. 

For a ONE (1) day treatment, add Safe-Guard Equi-bits Top Dress Pellets to the daily ration at the rate of 1.0 pound for each 1,000 pounds body weight (5 mg/kg fenbendazole).  A 1.25-pound container will treat 1,250 lbs. body weight. 

Feed for ONE (1) DAY as above.  No prior withdrawal of feed or water is necessary. Regular deworming at intervals of 6 to 8 weeks may be required due to the possibility of reinfection.

It is safe to deworm pregnant mares and foals with Safe-Guard Equi-bits.  Ascarid infections are most common in young animals. 

  

For the treatment of ascarids, for a ONE (1) day treatment, add
Safe-Guard Equi-bits Top Dress Pellets to the daily ration at the rate of
1.0 pound for each 500 pounds body weight (10 mg/kg fenbendazole). 

A 1.25-pound container will treat 625 pounds body weight.
