Quest Late Season gel vs Zimectrin Gold paste vs Equimax paste

[Solanacae]

Is there any difference in effectiveness among these three dewormers? Is any one substantially better than the others? I’m treating for tapeworms, these all have praziquantel in them, which I have read here and elsewhere is the most effective for treating tapes.

The link below has the most common dewormers containing Praziquantel.

I would think that effectiveness is based on giving correct dosing

I dont recommend Quest Plus Gel. I used it once years ago and will never use it again. It will kill tapeworms. Since it's a gel, it's nearly impossible to keep it on a piece of bread. Dosing must be accurate and you must use the exact amount IF you're able to administer it orally to each tapeworm infected chicken.

I recommend using either Zimecterin Gold or Equimax. Both are very effective and more safe dosing-wise in eliminating tapeworms. I've used both products in the past. Dosing a little more, or dosing a little less wont bring harm to your tapeworm infected chickens.
