Tape worms, I Believe?

[casportpony]

I see this... can I do the .30 ml per 5 lbs? Is this really correct? That's still 625 lbs worth of horse weight to 67 lbs of birds.

Did you get Equimax or Zimectrin Gold?

Zimectrin Gold dose math:
weight in pounds divided by 2.2, times 10, divide by 77.5 = dose in ml
Each

Equimax dose
weight in pounds divided by 2.2, times 10, divide by 140.3 = dose in ml

Chicken praziquantel dose = 10 mg/kg

Horse parziquantel dose = 1 to 1.5 mg/kg

I got Zimecterin Gold.
I ended up doing the x 20 dose, so I had to skip 5 of the 18 birds.
Would the x 10 dose have worked?

Hello, I saw a poop with 2 tapeworms in it yesterday, and today I saw this! I'm going to buy Equimax when I go to the feed bin. I had originally did the 20x dose with the Zimecterin gold 2 ¹/² weeks ago. I only had enough to do 13 of the 18 birds though, at that dose. So I'm wondering if this is someone who didn't get treated last time. I'm going to try and figure out who it is specifically. But whether or not I figure it out who it is, can I dose every bird (all 18) with the 10x dose so that I can get everyone?
Thank you in advance for any recommendations or advice with this.

Hello, 4 days ago I saw a poop with 2 tapeworms in it, and the next day I saw this! I'm going to buy Equimax when I go to the feed bin today. I had originally did the 20x dose with the Zimecterin gold 3 weeks ago. I only had enough to do 13 of the 18 birds though, at that dose. So I'm wondering if this is someone who didn't get treated last time. I'm going to try and figure out who it is specifically. But whether or not I figure it out who it is, can I dose every bird (all 18) with the 10x dose so that I can get everyone?

What do you mean by 20x & 10x?

What do you mean by 20x & 10x?

In your equation, the dose is at 10 to 20 times the dose to get the correct dose for chickens, correct? That's why 67 lbs of chickens are getting what 1250 lbs of horse would get, is that right?
So I'm saying instead of giving the dose at 20 times the amount, can I dose them at 10 times the amount and still kill the worms?
So instead of .12ml per pound of bird, can I do .06ml per pound of bird?
Thank you for your help!

What do you mean by 20x & 10x?

I see you gave this equation:

Equimax dose
weight in pounds divided by 2.2, times 10, divide by 140.3 = dose in ml

My equation for Zimecterin Gold was:
67.4÷2.2×20÷77.5=7.91
(with 7.35g in a tube).

So, for the Equimax:
If I did 67.4÷2.2x10÷140.3 that would equal =2.1836324759 (so 2.18)

What would be the dose per pound of chicken?

I appreciate your help so much!

 

[Saraschickens]

Although, If I did the dose with a 20x,
I believe it would look like this with the Equimax:

67.4÷2.2x20÷140.3 equalling 4.37
So technically I'd have enough to treat all 18 birds (weighing 67.4 lbs as a flock) at that bigger dose, right?

What would you recommend?

The 10 mg/kg dose
weight in pounds divided by 2.2, times 10, divide by 140.3 = dose in ml

1 pound:
1 / 2.2 x 10 / 140.3 = ~0.033 ml

2 pounds:
2 / 2.2 x 10 / 140.3 = ~0.065 ml

3 pounds:
3 / 2.2 x 10 / 140.3 = ~0.1 ml

4 pounds:
4 / 2.2 x 10 / 140.3 = ~0.13 ml

etc.
