Interesting - I'm looking at the product and I see it's an antibiotic, probiotic, vitamin supplement, but I don't see any traditional wormers? It contains Hygromycin and Bacitracin (BMD). So while it seems to have a really nice blend of stuff for the medicinal purposes that it claims on the package, I'm wondering how it can be said to treat worms? I think I'd like to write them and ask which ingredients treat worms.
Honestly if I had a true worm threat, I'd still go with one of the 'zoles or the 'ectin instead of the antibiotic 'mycins. But this could be useful for other things, or maybe cases where you don't really know what a bird has.
I'm curious lovemychix, because this product has me intrigued... did you see worms, or have a fecal egg count done? How do you feel you saw the results - like, what in your mind made the product successful?
I'll let you guys know what the guys say from Rooster Booster. They do have some neat products.
Added: Just emailed them this, we'll see what they reply - should be interesting:
"I had a question about your wormer. I see that it has two antibiotics in it, and probiotics. You claim that it's effective as a 'wormer' against some common worms. But I'm not seeing which product is actually the wormer. Could you clarify that for me? I'd like to recommend it for some people that I help, but I want to make sure it has a true wormer in it before I do.
Thank you, and thank you for your products!"

The reason I even was looking at rooster booster products was to get the black salve for my poor pecked polish . BTW: It didn't help with the pecking. I came across that wormer and I had a couple hens with just a little sign of a resp. problem and the guy said this would be great. Plus I had never given my hens any wormer because I never saw any, but my kids are constantly holding and getting close to the chickens so the guy said this is a good "safe" wormer that would not require losing eggs so I tried it. My chickens are very healthy. I did buy the electrolyte powder and have been using it all summer. A little goes a long way.
The guy I talked to really stressed how "safe" it is. I guess I didn't research as much as I should have if it does contain antibiotics.
I'm curious to see the answer to your question.

Hygromycin B is the wormer, It's been used for years as a wormer
Neobicide works well, it kills all mites and worms and is supposed to be safe, but you can't eat the eggs afterwords.....
Neobicide=Ivermectin..

Well there you go! I'm a little surprised as everything I found was that it was an antibiotic.
Very interesting! I love it when I learn something.
I don't have worms at the moment (most likely), but I have some new birds with unknown worming history in quarantine. I might just try it on them
Thanks, Pinegrove!

I'm new to this website and forum. Found the website emergently via google after I cracked the first egg for our morning omelet (egg from our flock of both banties and arucanas). The contents unfortunately included, in addition to well-formed yolk and perfectly clear and thick eggwhite (ie no blood and no evidence of spoilage - egg about 5 days old and refrigerated), what appears to be a roundworm about 2.5 inches long. Round and tan-light beige. I would not believe this, but observed such.
I have not found any info on mature worms appearing INSIDE intact eggs, nor have we ever seen such a thing in 10-15 years of backyard flocks. However, we have never wormed, either!!
Any info on whether hen's eggs can transmit worms or their ova to humans??
I see many ideas for treatment in several strings on the forum but more sources are always good.
Sorry to bear such gross info, but hopefully we willl learn and the forum too!

Ohhh the thing I dread most! /cry
I still am a huge fan of wazine first (piperazine 17%) and then follow up in a month with a broad spectrum to kill the larvae. My 2 favorites are fenbendazole or 5% ivermectin cattle pour-on. It really depends on the size of your flock, etc - whether you can treat each or need to flock-treat.
As for ova infectiousness in an egg, I would think that cooking heat would inactivate the ova. But I can't seem to find anything specifically about that. Are your layers white or brown egg layers? I would definitely candle the eggs. It's always a good idea anyway, particularly if any of them go to other families.
People ask "do I have to toss eggs when I worm" - well you're supposed to, but thoughts of worms being actually shed after worming and then eggs being made .... I don't need convincing.
Time to worm the gals!

The Ascardia Galli ( roundworm found only in chickens) are not infectious to humans..Even if they were, you would have to consume the embryonated eggs..Worms and nonembryonated eggs are not infective when eaten....
