From Farad:
http://www.usfarad.org/drug-wdi-faqs.html


  • Fenbendazole
    Fenbendazole is approved as an oral suspension for laying hens in the United Kingdom for treatment of gastro-intestinal nematodes at a dose of 1mg/kg/bw for 5 days and has a zero day egg and six day meat withdrawal. In the US, since there is no tolerance, this withdrawal needs to be extended.
  • Piperazine
    There is one study looking at piperazine residues in the eggs of treated hens. Piperazine is approved for use in laying hens in Australia and Canada at doses ranging from 130 to 200mg/kg/body weight one time and a zero day egg and meat withdrawal. Because of the lack of a tolerance in the US, FARAD recommends a 17 day egg withdrawal for piperazine used at broiler label doses in laying hens.

  • Ivermectin
    There are limited studies available in the literature on the depletion of ivermectin residues from eggs. Given the limited studies and data available, FARAD cannot provide a blanket withdrawal interval recommendation and individuals are requested to submit a withdrawal interval request to FARAD.

Title missing an 'r'....says 'womers' instead of 'wormers'.

What's your thoughts on providing some kind of withdrawal periods for these products?

Title fixed, thanks.

As for egg withdrawal, used as directed, the fenbendazole products shown above have no egg withdrawal in the UK. Unfortunately, used as directed will not treat capillary worms. Capillary worms require a much higher dose, so would be best to research that and/or consult with a vet.

Piperazine... I think most people wait two weeks, but not sure where that number came from. Same for the WormOut Gel. Again, reasearch and/or consult with a vet.

Kathy, I feel withdrawals, or advice on contacting vet, should be noted with each dosage given.....
......just a CYA and good to prompt people to think before using them.

Vet from my state has a great FB page discussing diagnosis' and some files on treatments and issues.
Very good file there on current Common Egg Withdrawal Times in the US....
...what's approved, what's used off label and what's banned per FARAD.

You, and anyone else reading this thread, might want to join and take a look at that group...lots of good learning there.

I guess I should add a disclaimer to all my posts, lol.

Are there any wormers banned by FARAD?


-Kathy
 
So while looking around the FARAD site I think I found a typo:


Pretty sure that's suposed to say 0.024%, *not* 0.014%.

Does no one proof read and check for errors?

Directions for AmprMed P:
http://www.drugs.com/vet/ampromed-p-for-poultry-20-soluble-powder.html

FDA recommendations:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/animaldrugsatfda/details.cfm?dn=013-149
"Chickens
Indications: For the treatment of coccidiosis.
Amount: Administer at the 0.012 percent level in drinking water as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for 3 to 5 days (in severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024 percent level); continue with 0.006 percent amprolium-medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks."

Would love to check out the Facebook link, but that would mean creating a Facebook account.

You should join that group and take a look, lots of info that wold interest you.
They've asked not to copy and paste.....probably in case the info changes.
Don't think there's any wormers...but Sevin and Frontline are not allowed and have lifetime withdrawals.

Does anyone have a copy of Gale Damerow's Chicken Health Handbook? If so, can you check to see if it says that one can use Ivomec (ivermectin) at 4cc per gallon of water? If it does, that info is not correct, injectable ivermectin is not water soluble and will float to the top in minutes.
