What type of worm is this?

Problem is, apparently you can't eat eggs from chickens that have ever been treated with Wazine?

Is this true?

I use Flubenvet and I dose direct to beak for individual fowl.
It's a bit of a mission working out the correct dosage by live bodyweight but it can be done.
There is no egg withdrawal time and the studies that have been done show a negligible residue in the yolk and a non harmful residue in the white. It's the only dewormer licensed for use on poultry in the EU.

Yes, quite.

No, this is not true in the US.

No, this is not true in the US.

Oh, really? In the UK where I am, apparently it is true.

Did you know that there is a water soluble fenbendazole licensed for use in laying hens?

I don't know about the laws in the UK, but here in the US eggs can be eaten after something like two weeks.When

"Piperazine
There is one study looking at piperazine residues in the eggs of treated hens. Piperazine is approved for use in laying hens in Australia and Canada at doses ranging from 130 to 200mg/kg/body weight one time and a zero day egg and meat withdrawal. Because of the lack of a tolerance in the US, FARAD recommends a 17 day egg withdrawal for piperazine used at broiler label doses in laying hens."

Yes, quite.

If you post which type of Flubenvet you can get, I will give you the dosage I use per kilo of fowl body weight.
The problem is Flubenvet and Flubenol comes in different strengths of the active ingredient Flubendazole and there is a different recommended dosage depending on the type of worms you are trying to treat.
This may seem rather awkward but it does encourage people to get a fecal float done which a) helps to determine if the fowl has worms at all b) gives the correct doage for that type of worm, c) helps to stop the regular worming as a precaution which in the end reduces the effectiveness of the drug and is pointless because one cannot prevent worms one can only kill them once they have established themselves in the fowl gut.

Yes thanks I did know. I use it for the sheep.
