AVITROL PLUS WORMER 25ML

 Worming is an essential part of any animal health care routine. In poultry, worms are usually caught from the food that birds consume. Insects (flies, beetles etc.), annelids (earthworms) and molluscs (slugs and snails) often become carriers for worm eggs, which will hatch and infect any bird or animal that eats them.

It is possible for worms to be transmitted between infected birds, usually through contact with contaminated droppings. In domestic pets, worms are often caught from wild birds, such as Indian mynas, pigeons or swallows which visit your coop or aviary to take advantage of the readily available food and water. Unclean water, such as puddles on the flood of an aviary after rain, can also become contaminated and infect birds.

Worms are not usually transferable between species, for example from birds to humans, or from other pets to birds. But to err on the side of caution, always wash your hands thoroughly after touching any animal (chicken or otherwise).

Although healthy birds are unlikely to fall ill because of worms, in most circumstances it is good practice to worm your birds every 6 to 8 months. This is particularly important if your birds range freely, have access to the outdoors, interact with other birds, consume insects or show symptoms of a worm infestation. Avitrol Plus Bird Wormer Syrup Concentrate is a hassle-free way to deworm your birds through their drinking water. It treats a range of common parasites and is recommended for use with most caged birds.
