How to use Safeguard liquid goat dewormer, and is it effective?

[Ederle]

I've been using Valbazen in the past, but for some reason it just seemingly wasn't working at all. So now I've gotten this:

How should I administer it?

I asked the pros about this not too long ago and I saved the info in case I need it in the future. This is what they said.

"Fenbendazole – Safeguard liquid goat wormer dosage for chickens is 0.23ml per pound of weight. To treat roundworms - give once, then repeat in 10 days. For all the other types of worms Safeguard treats, give for 5 days in a row."

My hen is four pounds. Would .23 per pound be about 0.9 ml for her?

Yes, but you can round it up to 1 ml.

Why wasnt the Valbazen working? Was the bottle expired? How did you administer it? Did you take before and after fecals to a vet?
I've been using it for years and it seems tapeworms are showing some resistance. However increased dosages, dosing times and withholding feed for 24 hours makes it a very effective wormer against tapeworms. That said, I prefer Equimax for tapeworms. Simply less to use and easier dosing.
I've seen no problems getting rid of all types of roundworms that poultry can get using Valbazen.
Keep in mind that Safeguard is in the same class of wormers as Valbazen, benzimidazoles.

Do you dilute the liquid Safeguard or is it given as is (concentrate) 0.23ml/pound?
