In Stephanurus dentatus infections: 10 mg FBZ/kg bodyweight. Panacur® Powder 4% is either given to the animals with their usual feed, or used to mix a medicated feed (in piglet rearing feed, in straight feed for fattening pigs I and II, or in straight feed for breeding sows). The product can also be mixed into the breeder’s own mixed feed.

Administration of a single therapeutic dose.
