Levamisole wormer info needed

[TwoCrows]

Can you count out the number of tablespoons in your pack?

Yes a can do this. Or, I do have a gram scale and I can weigh out the exact amount in grams.

Let me wake up here, get a few things done and I will get back to you on whats in this package.

Gram scale is perfect!
This book says the duck dose is 20-50 mg/kg

This has a bunch for poultry. Some are really low, but none are over 40 mg/kg:

How many are you going to treat?

If we can come up with a dosage, I can just weigh up the amount on my gram scale? Cool! Then do I just mix the amount in some baby food and down the throat it goes? And is this a 1 dose thing or is it repeated for a few days?

I am not sure if I'm going to treat the entire flock or not. I have one hen that has had Capillary worms in the past from a poop sample at the vet and is showing signs again. Currently I am using Safeguard on her, we are on day 4. Poop looks fabulous, but it goes bad again quick after the worming session is over. This is why I wanted to try another type of wormer. And need to know how to use this stuff. I have heard it can be quite toxic if not used properly.

If you can weigh 1.1 grams that will give you 1000 mg of levamisole. You could try mixing the 1.1 grams with 20 ml of water and that will give you 20 ml @ 50 mg/ml.

What's the link to that pdf you found?

Anyway, if you decide to go with the max that the PDF you found:
5 pound bird x 16 / 50 = 1.6 ml per five pounds

So then would I give her this 20ml@50mg/ml in one dose?

Let me go find the pdf, I think its in my other device.

If she weighs 5 pounds you would give her 1.6 ml. The 20 ml that you make will treat 12 five pound birds.

Perfect! Now is this a one time thing or do I dose another couple days? And do I need to repeat in 10 days?

This doesn't say anything about repeating it:
