Need Advice on Atgard Dosage

[drdoolittle]

I have 3 pot belly pigs----one boar, 4 1/2 mos. old; 2 females around 10 mos. old each. I believe both girls are pregnant, and would like to worm them (they are most likely due next month, if not next week). I bought a packet of Atgard to worm them with, but can't find individual worming dosages (I am going to put it in each ones bowl of feed). I also can't find how many times/how long I should feed it to them. Does anyone have an idea? I will also post this on BYHs.

I found on one site to add 250 mg of Atgard per pound of feed. This is confusing, as I feed each pig 1 cup of feed 2x a day. I guess I need to convert cups to pounds, unless someone can give me a better idea of how much wormer to put in one cup of feed.

I am also having this problem. I have a three month old and don't want to overdose him can you help?

Here is the manufacturer's label for Atgard: http://valleyvet.naccvp.com/index.php?m=product_view_basic&u=country&p=msds&id=1028006

The dosing table is at the bottom along with dosing and mixing directions as well as warnings. It says that fowl should not be allowed access to treated feed or manure from treated animals, something to keep in mind if you have poultry free ranging about the farm.
