Age and breed

[Fvzn]

Hi guys i want to know about my peacocks age and breed. The breeder i got him from says hes 5 months but other people say he looks 9? People and vets here in Pakistan are not very

helpful with peafowls

It appears to be a Spaulding Black Shoulder cock hatched in 2019. I am not sure why it would matter what month it was hatched, it won't be able to breed until 2021 when it is two years old.

Technically it is a yearling. All peafowl' birthdays are on January 1st, he will be two years old on Jan 1st 2021.

It is not as effective as either of the white wormers, fendbendazole or albendazole but it might get rid of your lice.

Contact any veterinarian and ask them to tell you where you can get a "benzimidazole-class anthelmintic".

Active ingredients
The benzimidazoles and pro-benzimidazoles most relevant for veterinary use on cattle, sheep, goats, pig, poultry dogs and cats are the following:

• Albendazole, massively used in livestock, less in horses or pets
• Febantel, (pro-benzimidazole), vastly used in pets, less in horses or livestock
• Fenbendazole, massively used in livestock, horses and pets
• Flubendazole, moderately used in livestock (mainly pig and poultry) and pets
• Mebendazole, moderately used in livestock, horses, and pets
• Netobimin, (pro-benzimidazole), scarcely used at all
• Oxfendazole, scarcely used in livestock (mainly ruminants), horses and pets
• Oxibendazole, scarcely used in livestock (mainly pig), horses and pets
• Ricobendazole, moderately used in livestock (mainly ruminants)
• Thiabendazole, very seldom, mostly replaced
• Thiophanate (pro-benzimidazole) very seldom, mostly replaced
• Triclabendazole, vastly used in livestock (only ruminants)

Several benzimidazoles such as cambendazole and parbendazole have been vastly replaced by newer, more effective and safer active ingredients.

There are no breeds in peafowl only colors.
