Using cayenne for parasite control?

[pride&joy]

Hey I was thinking of using cayenne pepper to worm the flock? I have read on here that is a common and safe method. Just wondering at what ratio to mix it with the feed? Thanks in advance………

I've been reading about parasitic worms and I came across this scientific study that showed pepper (Capsicum) CAN reduce worms in sheep! I was rather surprised. It wasn't as effective as the pharmaceutical treatment to which it was compared, but very close. That could simply be a matter of dosages. I'm still keeping my eyes open for data on poultry. Here's the paper: http://pirun.ku.ac.th/~agrskk/images/2007-KJ-724-732-Endris-Anthelminthic Efficacy of Chili.pdf

I use cheyenne pepper as an egg-booster. A little pepper = more eggs.

Has anyone tried something like Franks Red Hot or anything like that? I not try to have spicey chickens but thought it might be useful to give a little shot. I certainly don't want to hurt the flock.

Cayenne Pepper;

It`s a natural wormer. Mix it heavily with your feed to turn it rusty. Pepper in the front, worms run out the back. Chickens don`t have the heat receptors like most critters, so they eat it up. Worms, on the other hand, heh, heh. You can still eat the eggs. Repeat in 10 days to get the new worms...........Pop

So I guess now the question is any suggestions on where to buy cayenne on mass?

We get ours from a bulk food store but you can get it on line for about 7.00 a pound at mothernature.com.
