Worms...AGAIN. Please help...I dont know what I can use now!

[Eradicator]

I like how the use the phrase GALLIVERM-SUPER acts over eggs, larvae and gastro intestinal and pulmonary nematodes (adult parasites). It also acts over tapeworms.
Really? Acts? Why not use the word "kill", or "destroy", how about just plain ol "rid"? People actually fall for this?
Niether Fenbendazole or Albendazole does anything to eggs of nematodes.
It's a play on words and a selling ploy, basically a straight up lie.

Interesting comment. It is to my knowledge, and professors of University animal science departments, that through understanding the activity of benzimidazoles such as Albendazole, they are effective on helminth eggs:
http://www.sheepandgoat.com/articles/anthelminticswork.html
Benzimidazoles
The first chemical class of modern anthelmintics developed was the benzimidazoles (BZD). The first drug in this class, thiabendazole (TBZ) was introduced in 1961. In addition to thiabendazole (which is no longer sold), this chemical class includes fenbendazole(Safeguard

), albendazole(Valbazen

), and oxyfendazole (Synanthic

). Benzimidazoles interfere with the worm's energy metabolism on a cellular level.
They bind to a specific building block called beta tubulin and prevent its incorporation into certain cellular structures called microbutbules, which are essential for energy metabolism. Interfering with energy metabolism is a much more basic mode of activity than the other classes of dewormers. For this reason, benzimidazoles are also able to kill worm eggs. Benzimidazoles have a wide margin of safety and broad spectrum activity.

Galliverm Super only has a 4 day egg withdrawal after treatment?

If Albendazole actually thoroughly killed worm eggs it would be in every de-worming product on the market. Including mine.

So all the University professors are lying about the efficacy of Benzamidazole anthelmintics upon helminth eggs? No thanks. I wouldn't buy yours. All I see is a Facebook page and personal website for this product you claim is yours. Two of the ingredients contained in that supposed dewormer are absolutely worthless for efficacy upon intestinal worms in poultry. Praziquantel, Pyrantel, and Fenbendazole are readily available from licensed pharmaceutical companies through just about any livestock supply business.

Would you like to explain why you think two of the ingredients are " absolutely worthless" ?

 

[enola]

The two ingredients I would consider to be useless in your product would be DE and the "glitter".

I still think the addition of glitter is hilarious!

Might as well say the gelcap is worthless too with that train of thought.
The DE serves the product in two ways, one has already been explained, and the other an anti caking agent.
Worthless to you is certainly not worthless to everybody. And as for the glitter, once again you see no reason for it, but really why does your opinion matter? Other people who actually use the stuff appreciate it in the product.

Apparently, he's capitalizing on the newest trend, @enola .

I admire your enterprising spirit, but I feel your delivery is a bit lacking.

Also, DE is worthless as a wormer, since it becomes INERT when wet, which is... ironically... much like the inside of a chicken. You can say it's spiky all you want, but ask people who've lost chickens to worms while shoving DE (and now glitter) down their throats.

Poor birds.

PS - A Facebook page and your word an effective wormer does not make. Where are the vets and studies coming out of the wood work proclaiming this magical, glittery wormer's incredible feats?

Still there is nothing on the market as effective as Worm Eradicator or that has the combination of chemicals that Worm Eradicator has in it.
With whats in the capsules it's impossible for it not to do what it's claimed to do.

Sort of true... true that there is not a product that has the four chemical wormers, but there are others that have two, and those products *can* be used safely on birds that weigh less than one pound, which I believe one cannot do with your product, right?

Your product is also very expensive, so that is another issue, lol.
