Cobalt in wormer. Is it safe?

[lenadriver]

Have you ever gotten a fecal test on some combined droppings to see if there are worm eggs in the feces, and what kinds of worms? Praziquantel is really only for tapeworms, and most of us do not have tapeworms. Moxidectin, if I remember correctly, is not used in chickens. Most use Valbazen or SafGuard which need to be given orally to each chicken. There is a wormer called Wormout Gel that can be used in the water for 2 straight days to treat all worms in chickens, and it does have some praziquantel and oxfendazole. Here is a link about it:

Hopefully @casportpony will be along, although she is in California near the power outtage areas.

Thanks Eggcessive,
I'm in Australia and I don't think we have those products here. We do have tapeworm - I've seen it!! We also have a very high resistance to any of the 'azole family. If we use it here, it has to be in 5-7 consecutive days.

Are you sure that's a pour on?

I just googled it and it's a drench, not a pour on.

We get it as a drench, a pour on and water soluble. I'm in Australia

I am sure that Wormout Gel is available in Australia. That is where I found out about it.

Safeguard or fenbendazole 10% may also be available as Panacur horse paste in Australia.

Okay, that one is just 0.05% ivermectin, same as we have here. I thought you meant the one with Cobalt was pour on.
