I would probably do that since that's what those birds have been on. Don't forget to post pictures. The only info I can find in my books is for oral which is 0.4 cc per pound.

Per pound or kilo?  Kathy said that 0.18 mg per kilo up to 0.50 mg per kl is the recommended dosage.

Valbazen (albendazole 113.6 mg per ml)
100 mg/kg = 0.88 ml per kg or 0.4 ml per pound
50 mg/kg = 0.44 ml per kg or 0.2 ml per pound
20 mg/kg = 0.18 ml per kg or 0.08 ml per pound

Not sure I would use the 100 mg/kg unless a vet told me to.

My book says per pound of bird. It's called, " Let's Get Started Raising Peafowl!" By Stephanie Tindell. My book says cc per pound.

Can you post a picture of that? Not that I don't believe you, 'cause I do, but it would be a nice reference to have.

Sure. Here's a picture of the book cover to show which book.

You can take information from non-medical sources from books and the internet if you like, but I will stick to the medical references and manufacturers recommendations.

That would be wise. I was just saying that the information I gave is the only info I have to reference to.

It's a great reference to have, and what it says to me is that there is some validity to the 100 mg/kg reference I saw. Valbazen is not as safe as Safeguard, so I would want the okay from a vet before I gave that much, and I would be careful using it during breeding season.

I found a great article on fenbendazole that I'll post later.
