Worming with Wazine

Multiple sites including Backyard Chickens.

I am not doubting you, I just am surprised at the difference in dosage.

I'm curious, can you provide a link to one of them?

Hope you know that I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that this misinformation that people keep finding is a pet peeve of mine.

Couple of questions... How's your math, and would you believe me if I told you Amprol was the same as Corid? If you are willing to believe that I can show you the direction for Amprol that state very clearly what that the dose is more than 2 ml per gallon.

Perhaps confusing ml for teaspoon?

That would explain it!

2 teaspoons = ~10 ml
0.4 teaspoon = ~2 ml

Okay that's my mistake. Two TSP NOT 2 mls.

Thank you.

Sulmet is too hard on the bird's system It contains sodium sulfamethazine. Sulfadimethoxine is much safer and kills Coccidia that Amprolium won't. I'd use Corid for 5 days at 1 tsp per gallon of water. Then run Probios and vitamins in the water for 3 days. If after that you see no symptoms, run Sulfadimethoxine powder at .5 tsp per gallon of water for 3 days only. That is what I do.

BTW Dawg, I thought Corid (Amprolium) only was effective against E. zurnii and E. bovis strains of coccidia.

The post from Michael Apple is quite old. The amount suggested in that post would be for a "moderate" outbreak, but I think you will find that most people will treat all outbreaks with the "severe" dose, which is 9.5 ml (~2 teaspoons) per gallon.

Have I told you lately that I hate math.

I think I did it right on Day 1. Good thing only 1 tested positive.

I also don't like math, but DH makes me do it, lol.
