Safeguard is Fenbendazole, a Benzimidazole which is poorly absorbed and mostly excreted. It is a very safe wormer. We eat the eggs after using it and the same for Valbazen which is normally my go to wormer which requires only two dosings per bird.

I ask because I already have Safe-Guard (liquid dewormer for goats, 10% sol fenbendazole). I know the recommended dose is 0.23ml /lb body weight per day, for five days for capillaria. For cecal worms it seems it's the same dosage, but just once followed by a repeat treatment in 10 days.
The correct dose of Safeguard is .23 ml per pound of body weight, orally, for 5 days in a row. That will take care of what you are seeing.The Safe-Guard label calls for (and many BYCers agree) a doseage of 5mg/kg (2.3mg/lb). But there are other recommendations in the 5-day course to dose much higher. For example, 10-50 mg/kg here.
What dosage would you use?
I’m wondering the same. The product information is confusing. Says it’s for chickens but not got animals used for food.MoxiVet Plus - Moxidectin + Praziquantel Parasite Control for Birds
Has anyone ever used the above?
