I am a chicken farmer would like to ask:
- How is the dose of anthelmintic Cacing Exitor, 1 tablet per head or by weight?
- Which is more effective deworming through drinking water or mixed feed?
Answer:
Thank you for the submitted question.
- In general, worm medicine is given in a single dose, which is enough for one administration. Deworming with the right dosage is very important to note. To obtain optimal treatment results, the dosage and rules of use given must be in accordance with product recommendations. Cacing Exitor is one of the anthelmintic drugs that have indications to overcome gilik worm infections such as Ascaridia sp,. Oxyspirura sp. To facilitate the application of the use of the product is indicated on the product based on the age of the chicken. Rules of use Cacing Exitor namely 1 capsule for chickens aged 4-6 weeks and 2 capsules for chickens aged more than 6 weeks.
- Each application of anthelmintic necessarily adjusts to the instructions of the drug manufacturer listed on the product label. Giving through drinking water or feed are both equally effective in accordance with the product ajuran. As an example of the rules through mixed feed for products Levamid or through drinking water for products Vermixon Sirop. So to get effective treatment results, the drug Levamid should be given through mixed feed.
- Levamid can not dissolve in water so that the administration of anthelmintic Levamid this is done by mixing it into the food. In addition, if on the drug label there is information that it must be used up within 2-4 hours, then the thing that is also considered is the amount of feed mixed with the drug. This is so that feed and drugs can be consumed by chickens in that period. Before deworming, chickens can be pre-Fed for about 2 hours. In a hungry state, the feed will soon run out. Before the worm medicine runs out, do not give additional feed first.
- Deworming needs to be repeated. The repetition of the anthelmintic is adapted to the life cycle of the worm to be eradicated. For example, in gilic worms, it can be repeated every 1-2 months, while in tapeworms, it can be repeated every 1 month. Then for prevention in non-stage postal cages can be given deworming from the age of 1 month and repeated once a month. While the battery cage can be given at the time of riding the battery can then be repeated every three months.
- For the effectiveness of the drug it is also necessary to carry out tests to determine what worms it infects so that the drug targets are appropriate. MediLab Medion is a laboratory spread across several regions in Indonesia. MediLab serving testing includes a stool test to identify the type of worm that infects poultry. Another thing that is also important in controlling worms on farms is the control of intermediate hosts such as flies (with products Flytox) and ants (with insecticides). If the breeder is able to control the host between these, then the period of repetition of deworming in the production period can be longer/longer.
