White to slightly yellow powder, medicated premixture containing 10 mg/g flubendazole in a 60 g tub with a 6 g scoop.

Domestic Poultry Wormer: Flubenvet 1% Medicated Premixture is effective against gapeworm, large roundworm, caecal worm, hairworm, and gizzard worm in chickens, turkeys, and geese. Activity includes adult worms, larvae and eggs.

Medicated feed should be fed for 7 consecutive days.

Incorporate the required amount of the product into the daily feed ration.

The daily ration should be fed as a “complete ration” during the 7 day treatment period. At the inclusion rates in the table below, for chicken and geese the ration will contain 30 ppm flubendazole and for turkeys 20 ppm.

A level measure of the scoop that is included = 6 g of wormer. Use the scoop to measure the correct amount of product to mix into the dry feed as per the table above. Refer to the prescription for the exact inclusion rate. The dosage is dependent on the amount of feed that each bird consumes over the 7-day treatment period. Larger birds eat more feed and receive more medication according to their weight.

The volume of product to be mixed into the feed is small. Mix very well for even distribution.

Initially, mix the required volume of product into a cup of feed. Mix very well. Add this to a bowl of feed and mix very well. Repeat twice more, every time into a larger volume of food. Mix well.

Birds on the ground with known worm infestations are susceptible to re-infestation. In such cases, re-treatment with another 7-day course, after 3 weeks is recommended.

Accidental ingestion by humans should be avoided. May cause sensitisation by skin contact. May cause skin and eye irritation. Avoid direct skin contact. Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves when mixing and handling the product. Wash affected parts if skin contact occurs. If accidental eye contact occurs, immediately rinse thoroughly with water. If the operations involve potential exposure to dust, wear either a disposable filter and half-mask respirator conforming to European Standard EN149, or a non-disposable respirator to European Standard EN140 fitted with a filter to EN143.
