It is critical to break this life cycle, so a repeat treatment should be administered within the pre-patent period of the worm (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 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 continue the infective cycle.\u003cbr\u003eSo, for instance, with a normal large roundworm (\u003cem\u003eAscarid\u003c\/em\u003e) 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.\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend doing a follow-up treatment of Flubenol within the PPP for the worm you are treating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #f49619;\"\u003eThe good news is no withholding period for eggs and meat for poultry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSymptoms following overdosing: \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlubenol 5%\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTreatment with Flubenol can only be effective if the hygiene of pig pens and poultry housing is observed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in a 600g tub and in smaller sachets for treating smaller flocks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTreatment for Pigs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlubenol 5%\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual treatment: (Single administration)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd 1 g of Flubenol for each 10 kg bodyweight onto the finished feed.

It can also include feather pulling. Cannibalism and feather pecking may lead to wounding leaving the skin open to bacterial infection. In severe cases, this leads to the loss of blood and leads to general anaemia. If the feather pecking and cannibalism is not caught in time birds can be almost eaten alive and sometimes 'gutted' if the wounds start around the tail and vent.
