How to Safely Worm Your Peafowl Orally

[casportpony]

Safeguard for Goats, Safeguard for Cattle, they are exactly the same thing, just differeent sized bottles. Both can be used on any bird, mammal or reptile, one just needs to know the proper mg/kg.

Kathy, what is your opinion about the Safeguard paste? What is the dosage size and daily frequency?

The dose and frequency would be the same as the liquid. For example, if you normally give 1ml of the liquid three days in a row, you would do the same with the paste. 1 ml of liquid = 1 ml of paste, they both have 100 mg of medicine in them.

There are 25 1ml doses in a 25 gram tube of paste - $7.95 at Valley Vet
There are 92 1ml doses in a 92 gram tube of paste - $27.99 at Valley Vet
There are 125 1ml doses in Safeguard for Goats (125 ml bottle) - $18.49 at Valley Vet
There are 1000 1ml doses in Safeguard for Cows (1000 ml bottle) - $118.49 at Valley Vet

Liquid is cheaper by the dose, so that's what I normally use. Sometimes I'll have extra paste from worming the horses, so then I'll use the paste so it doesn't go to waste.

It would be 1 ml three days in row for a bird that weighed 5kg (11 pounds).

Here are some number that I did for someone else:

EE hens - 2.5kg - 0.5ml fenbendazole 10%
Barred Rock pullet - 2.3-2.7kg - 0.46ml to 0.54ml fenbendazole 10%
Barred Rock hen - 3-3.4kg - 0.6ml to 0.68ml to fenbendazole 10%
Cream Legbar Hens - 2-2.7kg - 0.4ml to 0.54ml fenbendazole 10%
Production red hen - 2.9kg - 0.58ml fenbendazole 10%
Russian Orloff Hen - 3kg - 0.6ml fenbendazole 10%
Delaware hen - 2.9kg - 0.58ml fenbendazole 10%
Lavender Orpington hen - 3.6-4.8kg - 0.72ml to 0.96ml fenbendazole 10%
Welsummer hen - 2.7kg - 0.54ml fenbendazole 10%

The above numbers are 20mg/kg. One kg = 2.2 pounds

Where are we (members of this group) getting the information about egg withdrawal of 14 days?

I'm just wondering. It's nice to have exact information and I've googled many time and keep coming back to here (BYC in general)

I have never seen any properly documented info on withdrawal times for egg consumption, just what people on BYC say, but I have no idea where they got that info or if they extrapolated it from meat withdrawal time for goats and/or cows.

Hi Kathy,
I have two questions if you don't mind........can I get by with using safeguard 100ml suspension in water for a day.........possibly more...........I believe my geese have gapes going on. Two are gaping big time today, and head shaking.....eprinex didn't work on all the worms...........Ravynscroft had great info on that. I had no idea!

If I can do the water version to start, what dosage would I use? Today is physically impossible to dose individual.......I pulled an age related stupid thing yesterday while preparing for freeze and just feeling the effects pretty strong.........

If you feel that you need to put a dewormer in water use Valbazen with at least 15ml per gallon, I prefer a little more like 20 to 30ml but I have on occasion found that 15 has worked. Confirmed by fecal float exams.
