✪ FDA Approves Fenbendazole for Use in Laying Hens to Treat Large Roundworms and Cecal Worms ✪

Read the link again...guess I'm not smart enough to evaluate the 'scientese',
wants to see 'X days withdrawal for eggs'.

I know you're frustrated with me, sorry.
It's confusing when one place says meat withdrawal and other just says no withdrawal.
I guess I expect things to be more clear.
Again sorry for my confusion, but I doubt I'm the only one.

Rules change, and it can take time for packaging and websites to reflect the changes. I don't get the 'Aquasol' compared to other fenbendazole products, except for the testing issues, and maybe lag time, or some similar issue.
Every drug must be tested in every species in order to be labeled for that species, and that's expensive! Food animal regs are a lot tougher than they used to be, and that's a good thing.

Ok for ducks?

I have no idea! Check on the FARAD.org website, and also safety.

Fenbendazole is safe for waterfowl, gamebirds, chickens, etc. However, it should be used cautiously in pigeons and doves.

Sorry to bring up a old post. I’m pretty sure one of my coops has round worms as I have found a single white stringy worm and I want to treat them. They are laying hens with eggs we use.
I originally bought Ivermectin upon recommendation but am reading allot about how it’s not effective. I haven’t treated with anything yet.
Ideally I’d like no egg withdrawal time. Would safeguard or Valbazen be a better option and if so what would you recommend and how much?
Thank you!!

If you're sure it's just large roundworms or cecal worms you can give a very low dose of Safeguard for five consecutive days and not have to toss the eggs.

here is what I found and I read it was roundworm? I was going to dose them all individually to ensure they get the correct amount. But just want to make sure I go the best route for them and preferably no egg withdrawal.

That's a large roundworm. If you want to treat all of them orally and still eat the eggs, give 0.0045 ml per pound of bodyweight orally once a day for five consecutive days.
