What is the dosage for fenbendazole?

[seminolewind]

The horse paste wormer contains 25 grams at 1gram=100mg of fenbendazole. So that sounds like only 25 MOL chicken's worth. Or is my math wrong? (supposing 50 mg/kg dosing)

One 25 gram tube of paste is the same as 25ml of the liquid (one ml of the paste does weigh one gram - yes, I weighed it, lol). So yes, I think your math is correct for 25 4.4 pound chickens.

Okay thanks, then that big horse tube won't do all my chickens. Back to the goat formula!

If you like using paste instead of liquid, they do make a larger one for horses and one for cows (both are in the 57-60 gram range, i think), but the liquid is the least expensive way to do it. I have many, so I buy the one liter bottle.

Yea, you're right. The liquid is easier.

I have five turkeys. I have 3 hens and 2 toms. How much SafeGuard would I need to give each one? What type would I need to give them? How do you give it? Where is the best and cheapest place to get it?

I have full grown turkeys. Is it safe to give it to them?

Thank you for your help.

What breed are they?

The most effective dose for a turkey is going to be 0.23ml per pound for five days.

One is a Broad Breasted White hen, I believe we have a male and female Red Bourbon turkeys, and I believe the man we got the last male and female from said that the male might be a Nargasett turkey so I'm assuming the female would be too but I'm not exactly sure what breed they are.

I have no idea what they weigh.

Thank you.
