POULTRY WORMS ON THE INCREASE..!

I wonder, do any of you out there notice an increase in the difficulty in getting hold of adequate supplies of flubenvet poultry wormer? If you have, it’s due to new government legislation regarding the sale of flubenvet in larger amounts than 60g tubs. You now need a mixing licence to purchase the 240g tubs and i had a nightmare trying to get hold of enough to worm my stock this time. I fear this will only increase the amount of birds not getting adequately treated each year and thus increase the spread of poultry worms even more..! Like to hear your views on this. Stu.

Sadly it's all part of the trend for professional trade bodies to lobby government for tighter and tighter regulations governing the amateur use oof any effective medication or pesticide.  Pretty soon you won't be able to get any medication unless you employ a professional at vast expense. 

In the 60's trade unions used to employ restrictive practises to protect trades and jobs but nowadays it's done by trade associations in partnership with government who do it through restictive legislation.  There's no political colateral in upholding the principle of freedom for the individual.

I was merely asking if anyone else had been having difficulty in obtaining the 240g tubs of flubenvet..!
I have received a very mixed response from most suppliers and most aren't bothering to stock the 240g because of the confusion over the new legislation.
