Avitrol Plus Bird Wormer Tablets

A convenient and broad spectrum bird wormer that controls Thread, Caecal, Round, Gape, Gizzard and Tape Worms in birds. Provides a secure method of dosing individual birds. Read the instructions carefully before use.

Some varieties of bird show levamisole sensitivity. DO NOT use with Gouldian Finches or other bird species with known sensitivity. Suitable for parrots, but use with caution as some birds can be more sensitive than others.

Avoid the treatment of birds that are stressed or ill (unless showing symptoms of worm infestation) and birds feeding young. Administer in cooler weather for better dosage control.

Caged birds should be treated for worms every 6-8 months – ideally in spring and autumn. Dose the entire flock twice, 14 days apart, in order to prevent re-infection of birds from eggs/larvae in the immediate environment. 24 hours after each dose, the cage or aviary should be cleaned and disinfected, and all bedding replaced.

Dosage: Administer orally directly into the throat at the rate as follows:
250 to 500g bodyweight: 1/2 tablet
500g to 750g bodyweight: 1 tablet
750g to 1 kg: 1 1/2 tablets.
Do not feed bird for 24 hours before or three hours after treatment.

WITH-HOLDING PERIOD

As with any medication, it is not recommended that eggs or meat of a bird treated with Avitrol Plus are consumed for at least 7 days after treatment. While many chicken owners use Avitrol Plus for their birds, this use is off-label and residue data for meat and egg withholding times is not currently available.
