WSD Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum treatment for roundworm and tapeworm parasites of cattle, sheep and goats.

WSD Fenbendazole is a suspension for oral use as a drench containing 25g/L fenbendazole- a benzimidazole (BZ). Preparations containing BZ compounds are commonly known as a ‘white drench’.

PURPOSE:
Cattle, Sheep, Lambs and Goats:
Mature and immature stages of worm parasites susceptible to BZ compounds: Barber's pole worm (Haemonchus spp), stomach hair worm (Trichostrongylus axei), black scour worms (Trichostrongylus spp), small brown stomach worm (Ostertagia spp), small intestinal worm (Cooperia spp), thin necked intestinal worm (Nematodirus spp) hookworm (Bunostomum trigonocephalum), nodule worm (Oesophagostomum columbianum), large bowel worm (Oesophagostomum venulosum), large mouthed bowel worm (Chabertia ovina), and large lung worm (Dictyocaulus spp). Fenbendazole also has some efficacy against tapeworms (Moniezia spp) and whipworm (Trichuris).

Milking Sheep: Do NOT use in sheep producing milk for human consumption
Milking Goats: Suitable for use in goats producing milk for human consumption (see withholding period).
Dairy Cattle: Suitable for cattle producing milk for human consumption (see withholding period information)

DOSAGE:
Always refer to the label. BZ’s generally have low toxicity but to avoid residue problems, it is good practice to separate into different weight classes if there is a large variation in age and weight.
Sheep and Goats: Dose at the rate of 1ml per 4kg body weight. It is preferable if sheep, lambs or goats are fasted for approximately 18 hours before administering BZ drenches. This may not be feasible for dairy goats.
Cattle: Dose at the rate of 15ml per 50kg body weight

ADVICE ON USE:
WSD Fenbendazole is a reliable broad-spectrum drench for cattle.
• WSD Fenbendazole is useful in treating the effects of immature worm infestations (mainly scouring) in adult sheep and as a clean-up drench for sheep or lambs.
• Adult worms of resistant strains of gastrointestinal worm parasites may not be removed by treatment and this may require the later use of an effective strategic treatment from the WSD range of drenches.
• Resistance to the BZ group of parasiticides is widespread among gastrointestinal parasites on Australian sheep and goat farms, and there may also be resistance among cattle parasites.
• The repeated use of any drench is likely to result in the emergence of resistance and therefore, regular testing for efficacy is recommended if BZ’s are used.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
MEAT (Sheep, Cattle, Goats): DO NOT USE less than fourteen (14) days before slaughter for human consumption.
MILK (Sheep): DO NOT USE in female sheep which are producing or may in the future produce milk or milk products for human consumption.
MILK (Goats): Milk collected from does within twenty-four (24) hours following treatment MUST NOT BE USED for human consumption or processing. This milk should not be fed to kids.
MILK (Cattle): NIL.

TRADE ADVICE EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI):
DO NOT USE less than 14 days before slaughter for export. The ESI was current at the time of label approval. Before using this product, confirm the current ESI from the manufacturer on Ph: (08) 9321 2888 or the APVMA website (www.apvma.gov.au/residues/ESI.shtml).

Vytrate is an oral, non-antibiotic supportive treatment for replacement of lost fluids and electrolytes in scouring or dehydrated calves, pigs and lambs. Suitable as a first feed for bought in or stressed calves and pigs, and as an aid in the treatment of pregnancy toxaemia in ewes.

Features of Vytrate:

• Actively fights dehydration and replaces lost fluids and electrolytes.
• Reduces scour duration and severity.
• Contains a balanced mix of glucose, glycine, citrate and electrolytes.
• Fights acidosis.
• Easy to mix and administer.
• Registered for use in calves, lambs and ewes, dogs, cats, pigs and foals.

Withholding Periods:
Meat Nil.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Vytrate Liquid Concentrate: solution intended for oral administration after dilution with water to 12.5 times its original volume.

Following are directions for the preparation of commonly required dose volumes. Measure the required volume of Vy'trate Liquid Concentrate into the mixing vessel and make up to volume required with clean, fresh drinking water. Replace cap firmly after use.

Mix 40 mL Vy'Trate Liquid Concentrate with water to make up to 500 mL diluted solution; mix 80 mL to make up to 1 L; mix 160 mL to make up to 2 L. 1 L pack makes a total of 12.5 L; 5 L pack makes 62.5 L.

Calves:

Bought in calves. Feed 2 L of diluted solution, made up as above, as the first feed on arrival. For the next scheduled feed, use 1 L diluted solution at the same time as, but not mixed with, milk or milk replacer. Thereafter, feed normal diet.

Scouring calves. Dose rate: 1 to 1.5 L diluted solution/10 kg bodyweight daily, divided into two or more daily doses. If scouring is established or severe, causing serious dehydration, the higher dose should be used initially and fed in three or four divided doses. 2 L of diluted solution given morning and night will be adequate in many cases.

Directions. Immediately signs of scours are seen, withdraw milk or milk replacer and feed the required dose for two days. For a further two days return to milk feeding at half normal rate, with diluted solution given between these feeds. Thereafter feed as normal. Seek veterinary advice if blood is present or scours persist beyond four days. Keep feeding utensils clean and avoid overfeeding. Normal feeding should be resumed after the course of treatment. Replace with fresh solution every 24 hours. Many scouring problems can be avoided by feeding adequate colostrum early in the calf's life.

Pigs:

Suckling piglets. Immediately scour signs appear, fresh diluted solution, made up as above, should be made available, in a clean vessel, to the whole litter. A litter of 1 week old piglets will consume approximately 2 to 3 L/day. The amount consumed will increase with the age of the piglets. Piglets may be dosed individually, by giving 20 to 30 mL diluted solution three or four times a day, taking care to avoid choking. Take care to ensure that piglets are not left without diluted solution, drinking water or sow's milk. Check the supply of solution every twelve hours and replenish if necessary.

Weaned pigs:

Scouring weaned pigs should have fresh diluted solution available in a suitable clean vessel. Restrict solid feed intake for one to two days, but continue to supply fresh drinking water. As a general guide, weaners will consume 1 to 2 L/weaner/day.

Duration of treatment (all pigs). Diluted solution should be made available for four days, but if the scour has not cleared completely, treatment may be continued for up to eight days in total. If there is no sign of improvement, consult a veterinary surgeon.

Periods of stress:

For the two to three days following any period of stress (i.e. weaning, transport etc.), Vy'Trate will help to increase fluid and electrolyte consumption and absorption, so minimising any possible setback. As diluted solution is extremely palatable and excessive drinking may occur, diluted solution at half the strength recommended above may be used, for this indication only. Replace with fresh solution every 24 hours.

Sheep:

Scouring lambs. Give 150 to 200 mL fresh diluted solution two to four times daily as required. The solution should be adjusted to body heat and given via a feeding bottle and teat. The lamb should also suck the ewe. Unused diluted solution may be kept in a clean  container below 25°C but should be replaced with fresh solution every 24 hours.

Pregnancy toxaemia in ewes:
Administer 160 mL undiluted solution using suitable drenching equipment. Repeat at four to six hour intervals as necessary. Prompt treatment as soon as signs appear improves the likelihood of a complete recovery.
