Eqvalan Gold has the same amount of praziquantel as Zimectrin Gold. The dosage is in post 5 here by @casportpony who may want to chime in with the amount in ml:

Ok I FINALLY got Eqvalan gold it’s a 7.75gm tube.
How much am I giving??

thanks!

That's 1.55% ivermectin and 7.75% praziquantel.
Dose

• Half kilogram (500 grams) - 0.5 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.065 ml per 500 grams
• One kilogram - 1 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.13 ml per kg
• Two & a half kilograms - 2.5 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.32 ml per 2.5 kg

Does that help?

yes and no. I’m horrible at math. My birds are small, roughly 4lbs each

also I don’t know which birds have the tape but they’ve already stopped laying this year from lack of sunlight so I’m not worried about losing eggs, should I deworm the whole flock? Also I was planning on culling excess roosters, are these safe to eat before worming?

thanks friends!

I figured living in Canaday you did kg, my bad!

Dose for pounds

• 1/2 pound - 0.5 / 2.2 x10 / 77.5 = 0.03 ml per 1/2 pound
• One pound - 1 / 2.2 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.06 ml per pound
• Four pounds - 4 / 2.2 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.24 ml per 4 pounds

Better? If you need more dose, just let me know the weights and I will figure them out for you.

Ok so I wormed last night and now there’s full worms in the poo but it really looks like round worms. But there was no round worms in the stool before. Also would the meds I just gave them deworm round worm too?

 

[casportpony]

Those look like cecal worms and the ivermectin in the wormer you used probably killed them.
