This worming treatment has no egg withholding period. Yes, you can keep eating the eggs 😊 Flubenol™ 5% contains flubendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic with high efficacy against all gastrointestinal worm species that commonly occur in poultry. It is effective against roundworms (Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum, Capillaria spp., Amidostomum anseris and Trichostrongylus tenuis), gapeworm (Syngamus trachea) and tapeworms (Raillietina sp.). Its safety profile allows a safe and secure use in most poultry species, including the breeding stock. Flubenol is a tasteless powder which is added to dry feed.  Dosage for chickens/turkeys/geese/partridge and pheasants. Dosage rate:To treat your flock mix the powder thoroughly into the feed and feed it for seven consecutive days. It needs to be thoroughly mixed through the pellets or dry mash. (Do not just sprinkle on top.) To treat a large flock (22-25 hens) mix 15g (3 teaspoons) into 21.5kg feed for chickens and geese or for a smaller flock (7-8 hens) 5g (one teaspoon) per 7kg feed. (please check the recommended daily ration on your feed bag to determine the exact amount). To treat pheasants and partridge mix 15g (3 teaspoons) with 11kg feed. To treat turkeys mix 15g (3 teaspoons) in with 32kg feed. In case of infestation with tapeworm, double the dose for seven consecutive days. Do not use this product to treat pigeons or parrots. How to dose: Calculate what 1 hen eats daily. The best way to do this is to look at the bag of layer feed you are using which will indicate the recommended daily feed ration on the back. For Weston Layer feed it is app. 130g per day per hen.  Count the number of hens in your flock (best to treat everyone). Multiply the number of hens by the daily ration for one hen. This total will indicate how much feed your flock eats in a day. Then multiply this number by seven (the number of days you will be treating) If using an auto feeder empty the feeder and fill it with the calculated amount of medicated feed for the week. (If your calculations are correct then this quantity should feed them for the week)   Let your hens self-help for seven days.  On the eighth day remove and empty the feeder. Replace with non-medicated fresh feed. For best results we recommend sanitising/ cleaning your hen house at the same time  using Poultry Safeguard. For more info on deworming your flock read here. Follow up TreatmentAll poultry worms have a life cycle of between 2 to 7 weeks. It is really important to break this life cycle so a repeat treatment should be administered within the pre-patient period of the worm/s (PPP). The PPP is the time period in days from worm egg ingestion by the chicken until the adult worm starts producing eggs in the chicken and sheds these eggs into the environment. When dealing with specific problem worm species, we always consider the PPP of the worm in question, because you want to try and keep your Flubenol treatment interval just shorter than this time period, so that you effectively prevent further contamination of the environment with worm eggs, and thereby just continue the infective cycle.So for instance with normal large roundworm (Ascarid) infection, a longer treatment interval of around 5-6 weeks is what we suggest (the life cycle or PPP of this worm species is the longest of all the commonly found poultry worms). However, with Gapeworm, the PPP is around 2-3 weeks. So to effectively control the burden for this worm species we recommend following up with another treatment 2 weeks after completion of the first.We recommend doing a follow-up treatment of Flubenol within the PPP for the worm you are treating. The good news - no withholding period for eggs and meat for poultry. Symptoms following overdosing: Flubenol 5% is non-toxic; even considerable overdosing does not produce side effects.  In poultry, even three times the highest dose for seven days had no negative effects on egg production, egg quality, hatching results and growth of offspring.Treatment with Flubenol can only be effective if the hygiene of pig pens and poultry housing is observed. Available in a 600g tub and in smaller sachets for treating smaller flocks. Treatment for Pigs Flubenol is effective against the mature and immature larvae and eggs of the following species of worm: Large Roundworm, Red Stomach Worm, Nodular Worm Lungworm, Threadworm and Whipworm. Individual treatment: (Single administration).Add 1 g of Flubenol for each 10 kg bodyweight onto the finished feed. (This is equivalent to 5 mg of flubendazole per one kg bodyweight). One 13 g measuring spoon treats one 130 kg sow. An easy way of administering the dose is to add it to a buttered bread roll and feed it to your pig. Treat twice a year unless recommended otherwise by your veterinary surgeon.  Pigs brought onto the premises should be treated on arrival and before mixing with other animals.  Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption within 7 days of treatment.

It's good practice to worm your hens regularly. Monitoring your chickens droppings is one way to keep track of their general health. If you see signs of worms in their faecal matter we recommend worming your poultry.  Active Ingredient: Levamisole Hydrochloride 24% w/v as an aqueous solutionEffective treat for worms for chickens, turkeys, ducks, cage birds and pigeons. Aviverm™ is an anthelmintic which provides simultaneous treatment of immature and adult stages of the three most important intestinal worms: Ascaridia (roundworm; Capillaria (hairworm); Heterakis (cecal worm) Easy to use ONE dose treatment to expel mature and immature roundworms. Birds should immediately resume full growth rate and egg production. A ready-to-pour liquid concentrate that makes a clear solution in their drinking water. Palatable to birds of all ages.Worm-free birds mean higher egg production, faster growth rate, reduced mortality, better feed conversion, top condition and bloom, uniform batches - fewer reject carcases. The withholding period for eating eggs or birds produced for meat is 7 days AFTER treatment. Directions for Use: Estimate the number of birds served by each tank and also their average weight. Using these figures, estimate their total live weight. Now estimate how much “AVIVERM” is required at a dose rate of 1mL per 9kg live weight. Add this quantity of AVIVERM to the drinking water – ensure sufficient water is available for 8 hours normal consumption. DOSAGE RATE:1 mL per 9kg live weight (equivalent to 0.03g/kg levamisole hydrochloride) Total Live Weight  Dose (based on 1ml per 9kg live weight) 30g 0.003mL 50g 0.006mL 70g 0.008mL 90g 0.01mL 250g 0.03mL 500g 0.06mL 750g 0.08mL 1kg 0.11mL   ADMINISTRATION:For maximum efficiency the treated water should be consumed in the shortest possible time. Withhold water from 2 hours before nightfall until morning or the lights are turned on and then supply treated water only. Flush out tanks and replace with fresh water after 8 hours, or as soon as the treated water is consumed. Broilers and other chickens raised under continuous lighting, withhold water for one hour in summer or two hours in winter before supplying the treated water.Then continue as above.Aviverm is to be used as a single treatment.  Repeat doses are to be made no sooner than 21 days after the previous treatment and only after seeking advice from a suitably qualified or experienced Animal Health advisor.  FOR BEST RESULTS: Administer AVIVERM in the drinkers the birds are accustomed to using and check that all the drinkers are working properly. Avoid treating on a day when normal water consumption of a flock might be reduced to a sudden drop in temperature. Do not treat in extremely hot weather. AVIVERM will not affect the growth rate or egg production of the birds, nor will it affect the fertility or hatchability of eggs when used in accordance with directions.  AVIVERM is an anthelmintic that provides simultaneous treatment of immature and adult stages of the three most important intestinal worms (Ascaridia spp., Capillaria spp., Heterakis spp.) in fowls, turkeys and other birds. WITHOLDING TIMES: Withholding Times:Animals producing meat and offal for human consumption must not be sold for slaughter during or within 7 days of the last treatment. Eggs from treated birds must not be sold for human consumption for 6 days following the cessation of the last treatment.

Very effective for treating poultry lice. Used with great results in poultry circles as a reliable treatment for most internal and external parasites. Effective on external parasites ie: lice and scaly leg mite but will also kill any red mites that try to suck off your chicken.  This is long-lasting endectocide and is applied directly to the skin of the bird. It is approved for use on other farm animals but has not been officially approved for use on poultry hence the recommended 14-day withholding period for eggs and meat. This little bottle will treat a good number of birds. (Approximately 100 treatments if applied correctly.) Now available in a dropper bottle with nozzle and cap for handy dosing. Helpful Notes.What are you treating your birds for? Worms? If you are treating for internal parasites we recommend following up treatment within the prepatent period of the particular worm you are treating for. We have a great blog on worming which you may find helpful (link here). If your hens are laying best to use a product that has no withholding period like Flubenol.Lice?If you are treating for external parasites: eg. lice then we recommend a one off treatment is usually only necessary. We also advise checking again after a couple weeks to make sure the louse infestation has gone. If not - then best to repeat. We generally inspect (physical health check) our birds 2 to 4 times a year (usually when the seasons change) and treat them accordingly for lice. We find the pour on drench works brilliantly for lice control. Poison. Keep away from children. Please note this is a liquid and we cannot slip it into a courier satchel - it needs to be sent in a box.
