Pellets with added flubenvet.....

I could only find this info online


"Flubenvet 5 % w/w Premix for Medicated Feeding Stuff:  Dosage and administration

Dosage and administration
 
For oral administration only.
 
For incorporation into dry feed at a registered mill.
 
A manufacturer who is approved to incorporate directly at any concentration, veterinary medicinal products or premixtures containing such products, must be responsible for mixing when incorporation is less than 2 kg per tonne for final feed.
 
Dosage
 
a) Pheasants and partridges: 1.2 kg Flubenvet is incorporated into 1 tonne of feeding stuff to provide 60g flubendazole per tonne of feed. Treat for 7 consecutive days.
 
b) Chickens and geese: 600 g Flubenvet is incorporated into 1 tonne of feeding stuff to provide 30 g flubendazole is incorporated into 1 tonne of feed. Treat for 7 consecutive days.
 
c) Turkeys: 400 g Flubenvet is incorporated into 1 tonne of feeding stuff to provide 20 g flubendazole per tonne of feed. Treat for 7 consecutive days.
 
Treatment frequency
 
On infected premises, treatment at 3 weekly intervals may be necessary to control worm infestations."

from this website www.noahcompendium.co.uk

If you work it out that means 30mg of flubendazole per kg

That would also mean 600mg of 5% Flubenvet per kg

That would mean 600mg x 5% divided by 1000 gives you 3g of 1% per kg   

I could be well wrong though, bit late for my maths head!!   

Tell me about it, it was buzzing round in my head during the night.   

I know the dosage for the 3% does not match the 1% pro rata so we have to assume there is a reason.  When they incorporate it into pellets there is more guarantee they are getting the right dose than us mixing powder on pellets.   

I get mine from our local Farmway store, they produce their own.  I think they are being taken over by Mole Valley Farmers which I believe is a South Eastern company.

MVF is a South West based company with stores and feed mills throughout Devon. The feed for MVF is made locally to me but they don't produce any of the medicated feed, that's why I have to order it online from farm and pet place. I do love MVF though, their own feed is of high quality and it's a reasonable price too.

WHAT!!??

I had to go to the Hexham Farmway store, as I was told the Morpeth store closed YEARS ago!!

And, when down at the plot this afternoon after work, a fellow plotter has offerd to buy the rest of the pellets I don't use after the 7 days.

That'll save wasting god know how much of a bag. 

www.farmway.co.uk/stores.html?site=corporate  I think they did go through a finacially difficult time and had to stop their online store as well as the Morpeth branch.  I spoke to a member of staff this week and they are really pleased with the takeover as it means job security for them and possibly expansion.  Our local store is Stokesley and the staff really go out of their way to help.
