Description

Flubenol 5% is an oral worm treatment, active against gastrointestinal worms in poultry.  It is effective against most of the common worms found in, including large roundworm, small roundworm, hairworm in the crop and small intestine and tapeworm.

This product is a breakthrough worming product in Australia, as it has NO withholding period eggs, plus fertility and hatchability is not affected when used according to the label instructions.  Only a tiny amount is needed, which is mixed into their feed and fed out for seven days.  Treatment with Flubenol can only give optimum results when hygiene is strictly followed in pens and houses. 


Dosage Rate

Flubenol should be mixed thoroughly into dry feed and fed out for 7 consecutive days.  Estimate how much feed is normally consumed in 7 days (normally calculated at 120g feed per standard chicken) and mix in 1/2 scoop per 10.75kg of feed. The label directions actually state one scoop per 21.5kg feed. 
If the medicated feed is consumed before the week is up, make up another batch and continue until finished.  There is low risk of overdosing.  Feed out in an appropriate feeder.  Do not throw feed on the ground.

In case of infestation with tapeworm, double the dose.  For first time dosing, use the double dose rate to ensure all worms present are killed and repeat the single dose two weeks after the first treatment is completed.  Thereafter, treat every three months or sooner if worms are detected, though worm infestations are not always obvious.
 

Withdrawal Period

Eggs: Zero (0) days. Neither laying, fertility nor hatching is affected when fed according to the label directions.

Meat (Chicken): Remove all medicated feed 7 days before slaughter for Human Consumption.

Meat (Pig): Remove all medicated feed 7 days before slaughter for Human Consumption.

Symptoms following overdose

Flubenol 5% is non-toxic; even considerable overdosing does not produce side effects.  In poultry, even three times the highest dose for 7 days had no negative effects on egg production, egg quality, hatching results, growth of offspring or in any other respect.
