Best dewormer for general use?

[Cyprus]

Your right I havent used wazine in a while and forgot it only treated one type of worms.

I routinely treat for worms as a preventative twice a year. Havent had an outbreak since back in 2013ish. Valbazen has been my only dewormer since then.

And yes as the above poster said coccidiosis wont be cured by a dewormer. I use Corid liquid for coccidiosis twice a year as well as a preventative.

Preventative treatment for worms is what I'm looking for.

Can you provide the dosage for Valbazen?

20mg/kg repeat in 10days. Thats about 1ml per 10 lb bird

1 treatment should be fine as a preventative but I go ahead and treat the second time as if they did had worms just as an extra safe guard, doesnt do anything to them negatively.

Really? I can use Ivermectin. I have Wazine already but thought it was only for roundworms.

No you can not use Ivermectin for worms....it's about as worthless as Wazine.
Get Safe-Guard.

Or Valbazen.

It works the same as wazine if I recall correctly, not worthless.. just doesnt treat all types of worms

Can you provide the dosage for Valbazen?

It's 0.08 ml per pound orally, repeat in ten days. This will treat large roundworms, cecal worms, and capillary worms.

For gapeworms it's 0.08 ml per pound orally three days in a row.

Valbazen and Ivermectin are NOT formulated for poultry. Avian physiology is drastically different from that of equine or caprine. Wazine IS for poultry, following instructions carefully.

Both can be used to treat poultry. If you want I can show you dosing information from veterinary text books that shows how to use it.
