Go back to TSC and get Safeguard (fenbendazole) for Goats or Cattle. I give it orally 50mg/kg ( .5ml/kg) and repeat in ten days. Some people put it in the water, but I don't do that, so I don't know how much to give for how long.

Here is a thread I started on worming orally:

How long would every one wait between worming with Wazine and saving eggs for hatching? 2 weeks like if they were to be eaten?

I know this post is pretty old, but hoping you're still there to respond....
regarding the follow-up with Ivermectin. What is the wait period, if any for consuming eggs following that treatment?

We have had a similar problem with someone who treated our chickens for five days while we were out of town. Were you ever able to have your question answered?

For the majority of wormers, there's normally a recommended 14 day withdrawal period after the last worming.

I have a question about worming during hatching season with safeguard or valbazen. Will it affect the eggs for hatching? And if so, how long should you wait after worming to collect hatching eggs? I know it differs with each wormer for egg withdrawal for eating but wasn't sure for hatching. Is anyone familiar with this?
