Using bread when deworming?

[Kiki]

I didn't know zimectrin worked tapes, thanks!

Zimectrin is the product brand name, same as Equimax...etc. Those are product names not medicine names.

You are looking for the actual active ingredient of Praziquantel.

Just an example of different wormers. Notice the brand names VS the ingredient/medicine.

It does not. Only praziquantle takes care of the tapes. You want the Zimectrin Gold not the regular.

Praziquantle is the only drug on the market that treats tapes in one dose. Every TSC will have horse dewormer with a praziquantle ivermectin combination. Zimectrin gold and Equimax are the 2 you are looking for. $10-12 a tube and it will treat 100s of birds .

x2
Zimectrin Gold has half the praziquantel of Equimax.

Chicken dose using these is:
Zimectrin Gold - 0.06 ml per pound or 0.30 ml per five pounds
Equimax - 0.03 ml per pound or 0.16 ml per five pounds.

I'm just pointing out that it would be wise to use something that treats tapes if you want to rid them.

I said I was gonna try to find the equimax. If i can't find that, I know I can find the zemcetrin.

That's what I ment, sorry....

I understand that. Of course when I look for the dewormer, i will be looking for the active ingredient, I just used the brand names for the sake of convenience.

This is what I am thinking:
If you use wazine on day one.
Then 10 days later you use Praziquanel.
You are still going to need to dose with the Praz again in 10 more days.

So I am not understanding why you don't skip the first dose of Wazine and cut the whole process down by 10 days?

See I didn't know that I would need to dose them with that twice. I just knew what i said earlier, thanks for the advice though.

Well that means I could order it online. I just want to see if it's in the store first

Actually, it's more than twice if you want to treat all worms.

Roundworms and cecal worms it's 0.23 ml per pound once, repeat in 10 days.

Gapeworm are 3-5 days

Capillary worms are 5 days
