Does anyone know where you can get this online?

ive just completed a course of flubenvet 1% and it only lasts me about 1 1/2 doses i.e the 60g pack makes enough feed to worm my chickens for 1 week and then later on a further 1/2 a week.

So i would like to buy the stronger concentration to last me longer and be more economical, i worm every 3 months and its getting costly buying the weaker version.

I think they stopped selling the stronger stuff for a while, but it might be available on line again. If not, your vet can get it for you.

Thanks for this, I was wondering what I was going to do! Will call the vets in the morning and see if they can get hold of it for me

[Redwing]

Its now a bit more freely available

 

Bowden and Knights sell it, if you call them they will post it out and invoice you - their service is excellent

 

Alternatively its available on line here http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Poultry-Wormers/products/449/

Thanks i will be getting some of that next time, but with the 1% its just a 6g scoop to 2kg pellets, how do you weigh out the 2.5% mix and to what ratio pellets?

[AmberSky]

After further searching i see it is 6g to 5kg of food.

 

which of course means you use same amount of flubenvet but over twice amount of food. so for my 14 girls i only need to make 2 lots of 5kg mix to last them the week which is excellent, as they eat about 10kg a week.

 

and all i have to do is save the 6g scoop from the 1% tub to measure the 2.5% mix into the 5kg food, job done woop woop lol.

Well 2.5% is two and a half times stronger than 1% so the same amount will treat two and a half times the pellets.

One scoop will do 5Kg pellets
