Worming Pheasants

[Guest redeye]

Every yr I get about 150 pheasants for hawking. This yr a new supplier suggested that I worm them with Panacur sheep wormer due to the wet weather.

 

Apparently just pour some into the water butt that feeds the drinkers so it goes a milky white colour.

 

Never heard of this before......any thoughts welcome

cheers rick,

 

there would be no access to other water as they are in netted pens till they are about 11weeks or so.

You can use panacur for pheasants it's the b*llocks. I think it's illegal although im not 100% sure. Joe

never youse,d it in the water but used it with the food if your feeding pellets you can buy it ready mixed in its called flubanvet panacur does work very well thou

i use it it legal and works a treat, u dont want it to milky more a grey / white colour use it till they stop gaping if they are already mate.

I used it last year,works fine, i think i put about 20-25ml in a 25l water drinker,left it 2-3 days making sure they can only get water from there.

Are the birds snicking/gaping? If not i would'nt bother,we had some of the worst of the wet weather round here and ive not had any trouble with gapes upto now.

It does work well but get the panicur with the blue label the purple labelled stuff is toxic to pheasants, it is not approved for gamebirds. The generally used worm is Flubenazole (Flubenvet) Oxfenbendazole is what is used for sheep and cattle it is the same stuff but a third of the price.

The stuff i used was for dogs,panacur 10% for dogs, fenbendazole i think?

works well, but my vet gave me some yellow liquid sheep wormer this year,not sure of name, app panacure dosnt do all forms of worms that a pheashant can have.. but iv personally have had no probs using it in the past.... 1 ml to a litre

I used to use it for the pheasants used to get it from the vet it works well. My mate uses it for his dogs to seems to do the job.

Hello used to use panacure all the time but in feed give them 1-3rd of the usal feed in the morning with the panacure they give them there normal feed.As alimac say's it dosent kill all the worm's needed same in dog's so it's not the best but dose.
