Thanks, that's what I get for cheating & just copying the formula.

you are killing me here. I don't get the same answer you are. Where am I going wrong? 5/2.2 =2.27 2.27 x .5= 1.135 1.14 x 5 =5.7 ml

Thanks for the links. Understanding mg/kg is one thing. Converting it to usable dosage tends to be another.

I screwed that up, using mg instead of ml, I must have been correcting this while you were posting. The figures I used for safe guard came off the bottle of safe-guard wormer for goats 10%. It states the dosage for a 25lb goat is .6mL. I divided that by 5 to get the dosage for a 5 lb goat (...

Basing dosage on your criteria, the correct safeguard dose for a 5lb bird would be .12 ml. I believe we discussed the difference between dosages for large mammals and poultry a couple of months ago.

I thought of that after I posted, but again it would depend on whether whoever you bought the birds from uses ivermectin successfully and at what dosage. My use of both albendazole and ivermectin is a hold over from the guinea fowl forum from years ago.

No wonder I have no worm problems using ivermectin. But I was going by this kind of research, which tells me I'm under dosing. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2267731

Originally Posted by casportpony That's ivermectin and the dose per bird is 0.02ml per kg, so a large male peacock would 0.12 ml, but you should know that ivermectin is not a very good wormer for poultry. Many worms are now resistant to it. But if you want to put it in the water, the dose...
