adam gates Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 We use Verm-X every month as the instructions say, is this enough to keep worms at bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I would say no....just taken in my brothers bantams that were on Verm-x and have spotted a worm in the poop tray! My lot are now on day two of Flubenvet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 A big NO I am afraid. Verm-x is not a licensed wormer in line with current veterinary medicines it is a 'herbal feed supplement'. I would strongly advise that you use Flubenvet as a wormer. By all means use the Verm-x as a supplement but it should not be relied upon as a wormer.

Egluntyne Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 A no from me too. Bitter experience here. I spent a fortune on VermX only to find that my hens were badly infested with worms. A course of Flubenvet 4 times a year does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Yes as a preventative treatment, but I doubt I'd rely on it if I had a known worm problem. How do you know if you have a worm problem .... get a poo sample to the vet for analysis. If it's clear, keep up the monthly Verm-x routine, if it's not, use something else.
