Is this wormer safe

[Swaypippin]

I have tried researching these individuals ingredients for chickens used for eggs and meat to no avail. This wormer is marketed for pigeons and domesticated house birds such as parrots.

Ingredients are:
10% praziquantel
10% oxfendazole
10% levamisole

Any insight is appreciated. Egg withdrawl?

What type of worms does your bird have?

What product are you considering? Those all are used in poultry. I tend to stay with Valbazen or SafeGuard, but some of the combo wormers for pigeons can be used in water. The problem with water additives is that you may not be sure that each bird got the correct dosage. Have you seen worms, or have you gotten some fecal testing from a vet? What type of climate are you in?

This is a similar dewormer I have available. Not specific for chickens. Following if anyone has insight.... Mine is called levabird.

There is one called LevaMed, which is just levamisole, also a good wormer. Levamisole is one of the 3 ingredients in the product mentioned above, and is water soluble. I can’t find one called Levabird, but you can look at the ingredients and dosage on the label. Valbazen and SafeGuard are my favorites, and must be given orally. Those two work gradually and very safe.

So how many mg of levamisole (the active ingredient) should I give per bird?
