How to feed chickens with Alben?
Breeding Alben in water presents a certain difficulty, because it is not always possible to monitor whether all the chickens have consumed the water. That is why it is best to feed the chickens individually, crush them and mix them with water. You must first weigh the chicken to determine the exact dose.
We have already said that one serving is for 35-40 kilograms of weight, i.e. for one chicken you will need clearly less than a whole dose. On average, a chicken weighs about 2 kilograms, so one tablet goes for 18-20 chickens at once, which is what you should start from when calculating per individual. The drug mixed with water is administered to each chicken using a syringe through the beak. Naturally, you need to remove the needle from the syringe so as not to injure the bird.
What medications are available for worms?
It is prevention that makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of helminthiasis, because this disease cannot always be diagnosed in time. The owner may not notice any special changes in a chicken infected with worms, but it will rapidly lose its weight. Special medications are used to prevent and treat helminthiasis, which are worth talking about in a little more detail.
The drug enters the body orally, absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract, and then excreted naturally, i.e. through feces and urine.
The dosage depends on the type of animal. As a preventive measure, Alvet is used in two stages for poultry, and for large animals - once. Before adoption, it must first be tested on a small number of members of the species.

Treatment of worms in laying hens - Alben or Tetramizole?
Both drugs have a pronounced anthelmintic effect. They differ in the active substance, but in both cases they can be used to treat helminthiasis in laying hens.
Tetramizole is available in powder form, which makes mixing the medicine with water a little easier.
However, Alben can be crushed independently by mixing with water or food. In terms of toxicity, they are approximately the same, so they have no visible advantages over each other.
As for Alben, there is one important clarification. Its use is not recommended if laying hens are kept in enterprises or farms, i.e. eggs are intended for further sale. As for personal consumption, eggs can be eaten after four days from the date of taking the drug. After taking Tetramizole you will also have to wait four days.
Disease Prevention
You can also give chickens certain foods:
- Pumpkin seeds and pulp;
- Rose hip;
- Dried lingonberries;
- Chopped onion;
- Walnut;
- Pomegranate seeds, crushed;
- Crushed garlic.
The above products should first be crushed and then mixed with water or food. These folk remedies have proven themselves in the prevention of worms, so they can be used as an auxiliary method to anthelmintic drugs.
You can also lay wormwood and tansy on the floor in enclosures, which help prevent the appearance of worms.
You can add special ones to your chickens’ diet vitamin complexes, as well as foods containing vitamin A, calcium and lysine. This is very important, because it is always better to prevent a disease than to deal with its consequences. Especially when it comes to helminthiasis, which may well cause the death of domestic animals and birds.
