Research on worming chickens with albendazole

[michaelof504]

I'm looking to buy some albendazole to supplement a bottle of wazine 17 I already have acquired. Lots of people seem to be recommending Valbazen brand, but it's really expensive and I only have 5 chickens, so it will probably expire before I get to use even half the bottle. I searched amazon and ebay for albendazole, and I see that some other products came up besides just Valbazen. I see that there's options for brands such as Zentel tablets and Andazol tablets too which are much cheaper than Valbazen. Does anyone have any comments or thought about using these tablets instead of the Valbbazen liquid? If they are decent options in the tablet form, what would be a recommended dose? Thanks in advance for any thought.

I believe the Valbazen dosage is 20 mg per Kg (2.2lbs) of body weight. Valbazen is 113.6 mg per ml if that helps.

30 ounces = 850 grams, so one this weight gets 0.15ml Valbazen
34 ounces = 964 grams, so one this weight gets 0.17ml Valbazen

Dose does not need to be exact, so round up to 0.2ml if that's easier for you.

Hello:

I have been following this thread for some time. I am "subscribed". I see this wormer in the Cattle section at my local feed/farm store and it is EXPENSIVE.
I have asked if they would consider getting a smaller dose in, but they state the one that costs 45 Bucks is the smallest they would carry.
I do not have THAT many chickens (in denial, euphoric recall, etc.) or Guinea Fowl (only 22).

So my question is:

Will Wazine work OK if I give 15 ml per gallon (10 ml per gallon is normal) 30ml per 8 ounces and I only buy the pint (8 ounce) dose bottle. if I am correct.

I give it in a ONE gallon application and the water is gone within 24 hours as directied.

I know my Guineas are clean now. But, the chickens are always in the grass or dirt and it is just impossible to keep them clean all the time.

Thanks in Advance
Guinea

Wazine will only treat large roundworms.

Call them and ask what the active ingredient is and they should say that it's albendazole 113.6mg/ml or 11.36% albendazole. Is this where you found it?

Egg withdrawal, most people wait 14 days after last dose.
