Dewormer for quail
WHITNEYPLU:
I use that for my peafowl but it pours on behind the shoulders. Mr. Cupples of Cupples farms,http://www.cupplesfarm.com/ , sells a feed for worming. It contains Fendendazole, also known as Safe Guard, in the feed and can be feed to the birds for 3 days to 12 days as a sole feed with no weaning time. I use this on the peafowl as well and have never had any problems with low fertility. We have a wildlife perserve here specializing in exotic and endangered animals, including the whooping crane and Atwaters Grouse and their onsite vet recommends safe guard and the Ivermec exclusively on Turkey, chicken, geese, Peafowl and any other animal that might encounter worms on the ground. Also she added in thier cages they lightly sprinkle salt on the ground to drive the earthworms back down so the animals to dont come in contact with the worms. Use this method lightly as high doses will kill plants and grass. This can even be mixed in with a 7 dust when sprinkled to also help with insects. I hope this helps a little

Yes this is an alternative given the fact that Safe-Guard, Fendendazole, is in suspension. Depending on the amount of birds you have, this may be better when added in with the feed. Naturally you will have to hold of feeding for more then 24 hours, if not the birds will tend to pick instead of feeding. While this is can be used in a limited situation, water soluble wormers seem to be more progressive since the birds will drink more then eat during the warmer weather.
I have used Safe-Guard in water, but, a good agitation/mixing in a one(1) gallon solution is what I would recommend. The dose should be repeated for 7 days since the Safe-Guard will separate and lie at the bottom of the water tray and be useless.
Then again, if your birds are raised on wire, the chances of worming should be very slim. More concerns would be in the respiratory disease area being confined in a limited space.
