Feeding Directions:
This medicated feed should be fed for 21 consecutive days to wild quail. No prior

withdrawal of feed is necessary. It is recommended that wild quail feed containing SAFE-
GUARD® be fed as crumbles. It is not recommended that medicated feed containing

fenbendazole be generally broadcast, but rather offered in strategic feeding stations or
through feeders. Users should ensure that the medicated feed is consistently available
during the 21-day treatment period.​​​

Funding for the research was primarily provided by Park Cities Quail Coalition (PCQC) and the Rolling Plains Quail Research Foundation (RPQRF). The funds were raised by sportsmen who are concerned about the declining hunt-able populations of wild quail in Texas and beyond. For more details, visit https://quailguard.com/.​
