Valbazen mash

[chicknmania]

I can never remember how to figure this out...I alternate dewormers and haven't used Valbazen for a while. If I want to make a Valbazen mash for 106 lbs of birds in the flock, how much Valbazen do I mix?

Valbazen is dosed individually at ~0.1mL per pound (so 0.5 mL for a 4-6 lb bird). If you make a mash, how will you know if they are getting the correct dose? Some birds may eat too much and some too little... heavier birds need more than lighter birds. I don’t know how you could control that if making a mash.

We've done mash in the past, and it's fine. Normally we do Levasol sometimes we like to switch something else as worms will develop tolerance if you use the same kind all the time, There's no way I can individually dose birds at this time. I know that's ideal, we've had chickens for over 20 years I also know the mash works.
