Opinions on worm load?

Over use of de-wormers has resulted in de-wormers loosing impact.

Just be sure to get a good weight on your birds so you don't under dose them.
.23ml per pound.

Was just reading your worming article. I get panacur for "free" as part of my vet health plan with the rabbits. They insist on giving me two tubes a year per bun, even though latest research indicates it should not be used routinely, but only when there are symptoms. I just save it up and ship it off to rescues, keeping a few back for myself. But if it can be used off-label on the chickens that's great. Flubenvet ain't cheap! Seems that the equine and rabbit pastes are both 18.75% so no maths required either.

Will get a test done anyway, and treat according to vet's advice, but thereafter could use the panacur for the six monthlies.

@AlleysChicks This post might help you!

And that treats just roundworms and cecal worms. To treat capillary worms give for 5 days.

I think maybe under-dosing is playing a part too.

The Safeguard @ 3 cc per gallon and the pea sized blobs are two of my worming pet peeves.

I'm good on that front; I have baby scales for weighing the buns.

As if American weights and measures weren't difficult enough, some people throw in randomised "blob" sizes? This ain't cooking...

By over dosing is should have said using it too frequently even when done as prescribed.
