Yes, or the Prohibit, doesnt matter.

Either one, they are the same.

I dont recommend using a wormer that contains praziquantel unless you're dealing with tapeworms. There are few products on the market that treats tapeworms in poultry, praziquantel being the most effective. You dont want worm resistance in chickens in the future when you actually have to use praziquantel against tapeworms. I've dealt with tapeworms and they arnt easy to get rid as it is.
There are two other wormers that can be mixed in water and are very effective and inexpensive. Wazine is a liquid, but it only gets rid of large roundworms and no other types of roundworms. Dosage is one ounce per one gallon of water for 24 hours only.
The other wormer is Levamisole. It treats all types of poultry roundworms, but not tapeworms. It's a soluble powder mixed in water for 3 days with a 9 day egg withdrawal period. I lost my notes on the dosage, I'm sure @casportpony can come up with the dosage.

Good morning - I know this is several years old, but we recently discovered tapeworms in our flock and it sounds like you have had some experience in treating that. What product would you recommend?

10 grams of powder = 1000 mg medication.
50 ml of liquid = 1000 mg of medication.

So one pack of powder will make 10 gallons.

Note, please check my math!

Good morning @casportpony - I know this thread is several years old but am hoping to get some answers. We recently found tapeworms in our chicken poo. Tried safeguard which did okay but they are still present. I bought Zimecterin Gold yesterday and tried to administer it this morning but they wouldn't let me open their beaks to administer, so I tried mixing it with tuna (LOL) and they wouldn't touch it! Is this Wormer Deluxe Powder something you would recommend? From the thread it appears to be a better buy financially
