Good day

I have read that Valbazen is a good dewormer for poultry, I have looked for Valbazen and could only find Virbac prodose blue.
It contains Albendazole, can this be used for turkeys and what would the dosage be?

• Although this remedy has been tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder.

Management practice should ensure that drenching procedures are carefully carried out.

@marius86 , welcome to BYC!You can use that, but I think the dose for turkeys is something like 0.267 ml per kg, so a 10 kg turkey would get 2.67 ml.

Thanks for the reply, I will definitely pick up a bottle then. I have also a bottle of Panacur (5% Fenbendazole) for some reason our one is only 5%. Will the dosage be 1ml per kg to achieve a 50mg/kg ratio and then repeat the dose in 10 days? And is it a good idea to maybe rotate the panacur and virbac wormers?
