Anyway, what I wanted to say is the OP has driven me to break out an old microscope and see what I can make sense of in some poop samples. I'll have to do some research on knowing what it is I'm looking at.

I agree, but the point of a dosage is to give that and not more, so any study has to assume a correct dosage.;) Interesting the research done with Flubendazole (by the producers of the drug if my memory serves me) was the dose could be exceeded by a factor of ten without any 'ill effects'. This...

I wonder why that is. One of the advantages and one of the reasons it is licensed in the EU is because the studies carried out showed negligible residue in the egg white and non critical residue in the yolk. Afaik, here at least, for a slaughtered fowl there is a recommended 7 day wait post...

Here we go again. So Sue is wrong?

I've had a discussion before about flubendazole products on BYC and was told that while it may be licensed for use on livestock in Europe it wasn't the case in the USA. (?) So, does approved mean licensed in this case?

@Sue Gremlin What microscope do you have? A detailed explanation of how you went about the tests would be really helpful if you could fine the time.:)

Resistant strains are becoming a problem mainly due to routine worming of chickens. I don't worm routinely because of this.

Good stuff Sue.:clap Getting the dosage right with Flubendazole worming products can be a bit of a mission. Here with Flubenvet for example the amount of the active ingredient, flubendazole, varies from 6% for a given volume of product to 1%. The box instructions give dosage per quantity of feed...
