I have 19 chickens and am wanting to deworm them using Zimecterin Gold. I have no idea how much I can give them/mix in their water. The plunger/syringe of the wormer appears to be in increments of 50 with the plunger going up to 1250 lbs. Does anyone know how much (notches on the plunger/syringe) I can mix in their water and how many gallons of water? Thank you!
No one has mentioned it because the thread starter is treating tapeworms and the best drug to use for tapes is praziquantel.No-one has mentioned safeguard for goats in this feed. Is it not a preferred dewormer on here? I like it since I can just add it to water. That's what I use as a dewormer. It seems to be effective since their stool sample always come back negative. One and a half Tbl to a gallon of water - repeat in 7 days.
There is a reason praziquantel is not approved in the US for *any* food animals. I don't think tapeworms are enough of an issue to treat them with praziquantel, but this is apparently not a popular opinion. I agree with Kittydoc. Using prazi in chickens is a liability, and for what?kittydoc, According to the manufacturers, several of the wormers we suggest, are not approved, only because of the cost factor involved in testing it for approval in chickens vs the return. As to them being safe when human consumption of eggs or meat are involved, some of them contain active ingredients that are approved for human use for parasite elimination.
