Unfortunately, Fenbendazole is not currently approved for use in turkeys. For dirt floors, spread salt at a rate of 60 pounds per 1,000 square feet on the ground after removing litter. Mist salt with water and allow it to recrystallize. Piperazine is best used at a dose of 25-30 mg of active substance per pound of body weight. Calculate the water volume to allow for consumption within five to six hours.
Treatment is best in the morning when water consumption is the highest.
Administer the first treatment at eight weeks, and then every three weeks thereafter. In case of reusing litter in brooding houses, administer the first treatment at four weeks, followed at five or six weeks, and then every three weeks thereafter. In severe cases, the use of Fenbendazole on a prescription basis may be necessary to bring the ascarids infestation under control. As feed prices continue to rise, feed costs become an increasingly larger percentage of the overall investment made by poultry producers. Ensuring proper feed samples is necessary if the need arises to analyze what the birds consumed and what effect, if any, it might have had on the performance of the flock.
