Safe-Guard® 0.5% is a crumbilized dewormer containing fenbendazole for controlling gastrointestinal roundworms in dairy cattle, beef cattle and horses.
Controls Major Worms
Internal parasites in cattle can produce severe health and economic losses due to damage to the intestinal lining. This damage results in scar tissue formation and reduced nutrient absorption. These worms also remove large quantities of blood predisposing cattle to anemic conditions, disease and reduced performance.
