I was told to use 3mg per kilo per day. It is the dosage prescribed by France sanitary safety agency for medication. It may take into account the fact that we have bioresistance to Flubendazole. And that it has a high safety margin since most of it is not absorbedabsorbedshouldshould be enough to treat tapeworms
That is interesting, indeed. And maybe there us just a comma fault at the root of the calculation.Very interesting ! The dosage I was given is a lot more, if I understand correctly that on the link you mention, it's 10 mg Flubendazole per kilo, divided by the number of days you give it.

I use a mini mayonnaise hand mixer to make an emulsion with a little water before mixing it in the bowl and that way it dissolves completely.
Edited to add : it did not kill the tapeworms with the dosage I used anyway!
When I spoke to the pharmaceutical manager the dosage he told me to use wa. at least 1,2 g per kg feed. The dosage for other worms species was 0,6 g per kg feed. It worked great and luckily, I haven't seen any tapeworms ir their segments in my chicken's poop for several years now.
You gave mg instead of g.
I did not check the linked site again, they might have changed something or not. Their calculation for dosage recommendation was prone to miscalculation then as poeple often mixed up the amount of drug with the amount of product (drug +filler) etc.
Which was also why I chose to speak to the pharmaceutical manager to get the information right.
