Flubenol is a new non-toxic oral wormer, active against gastrointestinal worms in poultry. It kills every worm known to poultry including gapeworm, large roundworm, small roundworm, hairworm in crop and small intestine and tapeworm.
Unlike liquid wormers that are added to water and taste bitter, which the birds usually avoid drinking, Flubenol is a tasteless powder which is added to dry feed.
Flubenol is a veterinary medicine, though vets do not usually stock this product, as it is supplied in a container which is more than an average flock keeper can use and is very expensive, so it can be difficult to source and many vets are referring their clients to us. We have made this medicine available to the small flock holder by dispensing 15g sachets, which is enough to medicate 25kg of feed. An information page regarding dose rate is included.
Dosage rate:
The powder should not be strewn over the pellets but should be mixed thoroughly into the feed and fed out for seven consecutive days.
Mix one sachet (15g = 5 teaspoons) into 25kg feed for large flocks, or one teaspoon per 5kg feed. In case of infestation with tapeworm, double the dose for seven consecutive days.
Withdrawal period:
Eggs and meat at the recommended dose, no withdrawal time has to be observed. Neither laying nor hatching is affected.
Symptoms following overdosing:
Flubenol 5% is non-toxic; even considerable overdosing does not produce side effects. In poultry even three times the highest dose for seven days had no negative effects on egg production, egg quality, hatching results, growth of offspring or in any other respect.
Treatment with Flubenol can only be effective if hygiene of pens and houses is observed.
