Strike 3 "natural dewormer"

[casportpony]

As far as it being on line as a "natural dewormer" the company does not actually refer to it as that...but it is referred to that way in a lot of other places. Research "natural dewormer" on line, and you'll see.

I go by what the manufacturer says, not what the places that sell it say.

@chicknmania, did you know that fenbendazole in very low doses for 5 days has a zero day egg withdrawal? These low doses for 5 days will treat large roundworms and cecal worms.

?? Not sure what this means. Everything contained in that excerpt is true. It's referring to the Type B Strike III dewormer... that is no longer on the market. Not the natural kind.

It's the description that is often used that doesn't actually mean anything 'addresses'.
For example, a very popular bleach had a slogan 'kills all known household germs'.
No ambiguity there.
It was an attempt at humor. The dewormer I have used says on the product sheet it 'kills' and then a list of worms it kills. It doesn't say it addresses them.

"addresses" is a more accurate term. It's saying it is focusing on the problem..that's all. Just a CYA term.

A marketing ploy. There is another company that does the same. They never claim the product treat worms, but they let people think it does.

Exactly.

Yes, I've used it. I don't want to use it for my entire flock. I want something that i can put in the feed or water, not something that I have to individually dose each bird, although yes, I know it's more accurate to individually dose. If I have a problem with just one bird, (and actually I haven't had any problems at all for a while now, with worms) I use Fenbendazole. Levamisole works very well for our flock; I just like to alternate, occasionally.

The excerpt wasn't from the company's marketing, specifically. Strike III B DID treat worms...it was a very good dewormer.

Wow, what have I started?

No matter what you use you should always dose each bird directly because by putting it in food and or water it is impossible to know which bird actually got enough to count.

You're right. It was a good wormer when it contained the Hygromycin B....until the Feds got involved.
