Safeguard Mash - Zero Day Egg Withdrawal

[Sofia Salazar]

What is the max dose please

If you think they have capillary worms then use the max dose, but if you think just roundworms or cecal worms, use less.

I saw this stuff the other day and wondered if there was any way it could be used mixed in with dry feed? It feels like it's granular.
My ducks don't really like mash. It would be awesome if I could use the same principle as doing the mash but use the dry stuff if they would eat it

You could use that. Are you concerned about the egg withdrawal time?

No. I was thinking about the call ducks. We don't like to eat their eggs anyway. I don't know that they have worms but I haven't wormed them since last summer.

And they won't eat a mash?

Pyrantel Pamoate can be mixed in food. However the same problem exists, does a bird eat enough of the treated food to be effective? It can be done if food is withheld for 24 hours. It will also make the wormer more effective killing the starving worms.

It's been a while since I tried it again, and maybe if I withheld food the rest of the day and only fed the mash they might try it. But I've tried getting stuff down them like yogurt by mixing food in it in a mash and it sits there till doomsday untouched. Lol. They won't even eat watermelon.

*Adding that I do realise I would have to take away the regular feed and only provide access to the feed treated with the wormer either way I go.
I was just wondering if the granular stuff was ok to use if they do refuse to eat the mash.

It's okay to use, but they could very easily not eat the pellets.

Right. Ya that's for sure. They could just eat around it that way. It would be better if they would just eat the mash.
