Wormout gel?

[RESQME49]

i purchased wormout gel based on what I read and am reading differing dosage info. I was under the impression it was 2ml to 160 ml water per bird. Is that not the case? I emailed the company and they said it was not permitted in egg layers or meat birds and cannot say anything about dosages. I have 13 hens and bought a 100 ml bottle of wormout gel.

You are correct, 2ml/160 ml water, that's about 2/3's a cup of water. Here's what I got from the web.

The instructions here are a bit easier, which looks like 24 pumps or ml per gallon of water:

Be sure to stir and mix it well. I would a 14 day egg withdrawal.

Post number one by @casportpony gives a different dosage here:

In post one @dawg53 says that 14 days is the norm for egg withdrawal with praziquantel:

The pigeon dose is 1/2 the chicken dose and I suspect this is because pigeons are very sensitive to de-wormers in this class of wormers (albendazole, fenbendazole, etc).

According to the manufacturer
Pigeon dose = 23.5 ml per gallon for two days
All other birds dose = is 47 ml per gallon for two days

I was under the impression it was 2ml to 160 ml water per bird.

I did the math on that and it works out to 47 ml per gallon.

So 47 ml to one gallon and then 10 days later another 47 ml to 1 gallon?

47 ml per gallon two days in a row is what the directions say. Or you can give it orally.
Oral dose is 0.23 ml per pound of body weight.

Ok. So basically I need another 100 ml bottle to get the 10 day later dosage? Just to make certain 47 ml day one and 47 ml day two then repeat in 10 days?
