Pros: Worms almost anything! Really Works!
Cons: Have to calculate your dosage for different weights
This is the best wormer there is! It takes care of all worms out there! Normally, you have to get several wormers to take care of all the different types of worms. We do rescue for dogs and have quite a few at a time. We have 9 right now! But, when we were taking the dogs to the vet...it was costing us an arm and a leg, so the vet told us to go to the feed supply store and buy a bottle of this. He helped us calculate the dosages for our dogs and we've been using it ever since. It has saved a ton of money being able to worm all the dogs ourselves!

Pros: Broad Spectrum, Very effective
Cons: Off label for chickens, cost
Valbazen is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (11.36% Albendazole) is effective in the removal of liver flukes, tapeworms, stomach worms, round worms, & other intestinal and lungworms.
Off label for chickens. Consensus seems to be a 10 day egg withdrawal.

  • .077 cc straight valbazen per pound of bird weight (that is 3/4 of 1/10 of 1 cc straight per pound)
  • .17 cc straight valbazen per kilogram of bird weight
  • pound example.....8 lb bird x .077 equals 0.6 cc of straight Valbazen or just over 1/2 cc. A 10 lb bird would be almost exactly 3/4 of a cc (.077 x 10 = .77 cc)
  • Kilogram example.... 3 kg. bird x .17 equals 0.51 cc (1/2 cc) of straight valbazen.

You can most assuredly give valbazen straight without dillution (a small syringe like 3 cc may help) but it has been discussed in the past about "gut coverage or saturation" with such a small amount of liquid. Valbazen works more thru the gut, versus the blood stream like Ivermec does for example. I have followed the greater saturation belief. I therefore get my dosage of pure valbazen and then draw up enough water to equal at least 1 cc. I Repeat with Ivermectin pour-on in 15 days. IMPO do not use more than 2 times per year. I have found Valbazen to be perhaps the most effective broad spectrum wormer on the market today. Some say it has a single dose 100% kill rate, although I advocate repeating with Ivermectin pour on in 15 days.

I have LOTS of chickens. I also have babies with their mommas. Is there an easy dose to give the babies so I don't have to weight each one?

Valbazen dosage is 1/2cc for standard size birds, 1/4cc for smaller birds. It is administered orally. It kills all known types of worms that chickens can get.... that wazine, safeguard, ivermectin, eprinex, zimectrin gold and equimax cant kill. It is the best wormer on the market. Wazine only gets rid of large roundworms and has seen its better days. It is mixed in water and put out for birds to drink in 24 hours, then discarded. The problem is that wazine is mixed in water, you dont know if birds drank the treated water, drank enough of it to be effective, and sick birds wont drink it at all. Ivermectin and eprinex is virtually ineffective against cecal worms and has shown resistance to large roundworms in chickens. Neither will kill tapeworms. Ivermectin injectable is useless in chickens but effective against mites. Ivermectin and eprinex will not kill lice, but will kill mites. Safeguard will not kill tapeworms, eyeworms, nor flukes in chickens. Zimectrin gold and equimax contain praziquantel and ivermectin. Praziquantel will kill tapeworms, but not flukes. The same is true with equimax. Praziquantel is known as droncit, effective in killing tapeworms in cats and dogs.Your environment/soil dictates how often you should worm. Whatever wormer is used, it should be followed up with a redosing in 10 days. The exceptions would be treating for gapeworms and tapeworms which may require multiple dosings.

OK I have a cpl of questions.. one, when administered orally, you mean forcing into the mouth via syringe, correct? ( just making sure) Second - as far as gapeworms, do you mean that if you treat multiple times you may successfully treat them? I am thinking that is what has caused a cpl of my flock deaths but not sure... and Third - we have dual purpose birds, I know we will have to toss the eggs for a period, but what do you know about using the meat after using Valbezen? I am still looking but do not see anything on it yet... thank you for your time and attention to my questions..

I am looking for a preventive wormer as we have adult chickens that (probably) have never been wormed. The above questions from zilla963 are good quesitons. Anyone have an answer? Plus - about tossing the eggs? Does this wormer soak through? How long are they bad?
 
LittleBits
One more questions about wormers in general - do you have to get rid of the eggs on all types of wormers for a period of time? How long would that be? Thanks!

After researching the above questions on my own, I wouldn't advise putting Valbazen in the water. You want to be sure the chickens get it. It is labeled as an oral med, but that would be individually. Either straight down the hatch or perhaps soak a piece of bread and give that to each chicken. I was kind of talked into giving Wazine the first time, which is put in the water. Then for follow up, I was advised by a vet to use the Ivermectin oral, which I gave individually, soaked into bread. Next time I worm, I am going to use the Valbazen. I only saw (1) round worm before worming. Never saw any in their poop after giving the wormers either so I don't know where they went? Don't see any now either, 3-4 weeks after the follow up with Ivermectin. Going to take a sample for a vet to look at, though, to be sure. But I wouldn't put it in the water.

ive got 20 + chickens can we put on bvread instead of water. need a vet but cant find one near here. my chickens feathers looking rough and they panting, and getting loseing wt. already lost 2.

Well, I would start with adding the electrolytes.
This is also good:
Verm-X Keep Well Natural Pelleted Poultry Tonic.

I would be hesitant to use Valbazen only because you haven't tried anything mild first.
Their immune system might not be strong enough to handle this right now.

Is there a good dose to give the 3 week old babies?
