Banus Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 OK, I've read the thread on the 'Poultry Health' section but just want to clarify one point if I may. The thread refers to a 6g scoop. Our blue scoop has 5ml stamped on it. Therefore is 6g the same quantity as 5ml? - I'm presuming it is. So then it's just a case then of mixing one scoop of Fulbenvet with 2kg of food which coincidentally is just enough to fill the new style Omlet feeder.

karlotta Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Aren't there instructions on the pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banus Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Of course - but they're hardly clear. It's the 5ml / 6g thing I'm just trying to resolve. The instructions keep refering to 6g dosages but then they go and supply a 5ml scoop - Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yes, a 5ml scoop of flubenvet weighs 6g. Make sure its a level scoop not rounded though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissinuk Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Think yourself lucky you don't have the 2.5% stuff like me that doesn't come with a scoop! 1.2 g per 1kg food isn't easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ok, I've employed my addled brain and come up with one 5ml teaspoon to 5 kg food for the 2.5% My Reasoning: 6g of F takes up 5ml. There are 5 lots of 1.2g in 6g. Therefore multiply your amount of feed (1kg) by 5 to get the correct amount for 6g (5ml) of F Hope this helps x *edited to add as your Flubenvet is 2.5 times stronger than the 1%, you would obviously need 2.5 times as much feed: 2.5x2=5* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissinuk Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks for the tips goosey! I did work out last week that 2 grubs hold about 4kg and that needed around 5g, a small spoonfull. Looks like 4kg lasted my 3 girls exactly 7 days which was lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
