yes it does[/quote]
The dosage rate is the same
You simply reduce the quanitity to the volume of food you are using
Its not a "reduced" doses
its teh correct rate as specified on the pack but in proportion to the
amount of feed you are mixing
and only you know that
Its just a case of using maths

We>ve had similar advise today from the chicken farmers we know, however
he
also advised that if we don>t want to burn and rebuild that we find
somewhere for the chucks to live for 21 days and(*** please note, the
following is not my advise and I won>t be taking it, but thought I>d pass
it
on anyway for what its worth,*** ) paint the entire inside of their house
with a mixture of diesel and creosote, it seems the diesel is greasy and
stops the mites from sticking to the timber and the creosote is deadly to
the mites.
[/quote]
this has been the best solution for many generations
but it "IS" prety caustic
However its been good practise in many a farm for so long
In theory you can still use creosote in an agricultural application
its just the domestic and public that it has been withdrawn
The reason given for the 21days is to completely erradicate the
[quote]life cycles of the mites, get rid of smell and stop eggtainting. However,
on
considering this I really don>t like the idea of using it, so if the
dusting
doesn>t work, the lime doesn>t work and the spray doesn>t work we>ll burn
and rebuild.....take less than 21days and safer too!
[/quote]
it might well take longer tahn 21 days with powders and lime but you should
get there with diligence
good luck

Yes of course Jill. Sorry, I can see that clearly now. I think I was just

still a bit confused as I read of differring doses needed if tapeworm

I>ll go with the tub instructions.
Moving on from the dosage issue, do you know about the withholding period

the withholding period is 'Nil'. Presumably this means that although I

There seems so much to learn but is only when you see/do that you really get

According to Victiria Roberts, Fulbenvet at 30ppm i.e. 120g per 100kg
has no withdrawal but does not kill tapeworm at that strength. but I
can>t see where she>s put the dosage & withdrawal to include tapeworm.
Unless this bit in the back of the book, where she puts the dosage for
Flubenvet at
1 tablespoon to 4lbs feed (s>pose that>s about 100g to just over 18kg)
for 7 days, but she hasn>t given a withdrawal even so. That sounds like
an awful lot of Flubenvet. Flubenvet isn>t in the Veterinary Data

okay this is getting a bit complicated
my better half who does our dosage says
24 g to 20kg of feed that is from 1.2 kg per tonne
or
if using a 5 kg feeder
put in bucket 4.16 kg of feed and mix in 5 g of wormer
mix well and transfer back into feeder - this quantity leaves some space in
the feeder to be safe
this is for gape; round; air ; caeca worm in chickens
for mixing Tim uses a a corkscrew paint stirring attachment on a battery
power drill
There are different doses for different breeds
hope this helps

Yeah, and training. A good LGD is raised with their charges.
BC>s a great herding dogs, my parents had one that would "herd" sticks
into a pile in the back yard. Wonderful dog though.
Look into the history of LGD (livestock guard dogs) on the web, there
sites that cover the training and required temperaments. |

Aren>t I glad that ours gets mixed in at the mill.
The old tub which I found stated 120g per 100kg feed so that>s the same
as Tim uses.
But I wonder what the dosage is for tapeworm.
Flubenvet.
Legal category: MFSX
Uses: Flubenvet is effective against mature and immature stages of the
following nematodes and cestodes of the gastrointestinal and respiratory
tract:
Syngamus trachea (Gapeworm)
Ascaridia galli (Large roundworm)
Heterakis gallinarum (Caecal worm)
Capillaria spp. (Hair worm)
Trichostrongylus tenuis and Raillietina spp. (Tapeworm).
Amidostromum anseris (Gizzard Worm)
[/quote]
That does sound pretty clear. I hate it when I get what seems like
conflicting info from reliable sources.
[quote]
dosage is different per species not per worm as I see it
[/quote]
Perhaps I>m misunderstanding this sentence:
"Flubenvet may be used without withdrawal provided it is below 30ppm,
but this negates the affect against tapeworm." Diseases of Free Range
Poultry V.Roberts
I know that I shouldn>t really quote from the book but I couldn>t see
how else to get you to explain if I>m misunderstanding the sentence.
This old tub that I found in the old feed shed has written on it:
"Flubenvet Intermediate is effective against gapeworm, large roundworm,
caecal worm, hairworm & gizzard worm in chickens, turkeys, geese
partridges & pheasants. Activity includes adult worms, larvae & eggs."
Am I missing something here & being dopey?

okay this is getting a bit complicated
my better half who does our dosage says
24 g to 20kg of feed that is from 1.2 kg per tonne
or
if using a 5 kg feeder
put in bucket 4.16 kg of feed and mix in 5 g of wormer
mix well and transfer back into feeder - this quantity leaves some
space
in
the feeder to be safe
this is for gape; round; air ; caeca worm in chickens
for mixing Tim uses a a corkscrew paint stirring attachment on a
battery
power drill
Aren>t I glad that ours gets mixed in at the mill.
The old tub which I found stated 120g per 100kg feed so that>s the
same
as Tim uses.
But I wonder what the dosage is for tapeworm.
Flubenvet.
Legal category: MFSX
Uses: Flubenvet is effective against mature and immature stages of the
following nematodes and cestodes of the gastrointestinal and respiratory
tract:
Syngamus trachea (Gapeworm)
Ascaridia galli (Large roundworm)
Heterakis gallinarum (Caecal worm)
Capillaria spp. (Hair worm)
Trichostrongylus tenuis and Raillietina spp. (Tapeworm).
Amidostromum anseris (Gizzard Worm)
That does sound pretty clear. I hate it when I get what seems like
conflicting info from reliable sources.
dosage is different per species not per worm as I see it
Perhaps I>m misunderstanding this sentence:
"Flubenvet may be used without withdrawal provided it is below 30ppm,
but this negates the affect against tapeworm." Diseases of Free Range
Poultry V.Roberts
I know that I shouldn>t really quote from the book but I couldn>t see
how else to get you to explain if I>m misunderstanding the sentence.
This old tub that I found in the old feed shed has written on it:
"Flubenvet Intermediate is effective against gapeworm, large roundworm,
caecal worm, hairworm & gizzard worm in chickens, turkeys, geese
partridges & pheasants. Activity includes adult worms, larvae & eggs."
Am I missing something here & being dopey?
I>ve been looking about a bit.
Found this, different brand name, same active ingredient, same
manufacturer, seems to imply that for tapeworm the dosage is double.
Unless I>m misunderstanding something again.
