ABOUT FLUBENOL WORMER:
Flubenol 5% is an oral poultry wormer that effectively kills every known gastrointestinal worm that infect poultry including gapeworm, large roundworm, small roundworm, hairworm in crop and small intestine and tapeworm.
Only a tiny amount of Flubenol is recommended, it is nontoxic to both humans and poultry.
Flubenol has no withholding period for meat and eggs.
DOSAGE RATE FOR CHICKENS:
This is a seven-day treatment.
Thoroughly mix 1 level metric teaspoon (supplied) into 5kg of feed and feed over 7 consecutive days, 5kg of feed normally feeds 6 chickens at 120g each feed per day.
If treated feed is consumed before seven days then top up to get them through to the seven days.
There is a low risk of overdosing.
Feed out in an appropriate feeder. (Do not throw feed on the ground).
Treatment is optimised when chicken pens and houses are kept hygienic.
