Wormers for Poultry, Pigeons and Cage Birds

Regular worming protects birds from roundworm, caecal worm, hairworm and tapeworm, which can cause weight loss, poor laying and reduced performance. Vetsense Kilverm Poultry Wormer is a levamisole wormer for chickens, turkeys and other fowl, given in drinking water. It comes in 125mL, 500mL and 2.5L sizes.

For cage and aviary birds over 250g, such as galahs and cockatoos, Avitrol Plus Bird Wormer Tablets combine levamisole and praziquantel to treat roundworm and tapeworm in a single dose. Smaller birds such as budgies and canaries are easier to treat with Avitrol Plus syrup. Pigeon and bantam keepers can also choose Vetafarm Wormout tablets or Inca Piperazine solution.

Mite, Lice and External Parasite Control

Red mite, northern fowl mite and lice spread quickly through coops and lofts, causing irritation, feather loss and anaemia. Our range includes David Grays Poultry Dust, Avitrol Bird Mite & Lice Spray, Inca Malaban Wash, Vetsense Permetrol and Elite Diatomaceous Earth for treating birds, nest boxes and perches.

Always treat the housing as well as the birds. Many mites hide in cracks and bedding during the day and feed at night. Repeat treatments as the label directs to catch newly hatched mites.

Vitamins, Minerals and Probiotics

Seed-based diets often fall short on key nutrients, especially during breeding, moulting, racing and showing. Inca Ornithon Powder is a water-soluble multivitamin and mineral supplement for canaries, budgies, finches, parrots, doves and quail. Other popular choices include BVM Pink Powder, Passwell Multi-Vite and Vetafarm Spark.

Probiotics such as Vetafarm Probotic and Synbiotic support healthy gut flora, particularly after a course of medication. For hot weather, transport or other stress, Vetsense Avi-Lyte is a liquid electrolyte that replaces lost salts and provides energy from glucose.

Calcium for Strong Bones and Eggshells

Laying hens, breeding birds and growing chicks all need plenty of calcium. Passwell Liquid Gold provides liquid calcium with vitamin D3. Elite Calci-Grit, mineral blocks and cuttlebone give birds a natural source they can peck at whenever they need it.

Health Care for Dogs, Cats and Livestock

The range also covers other animals. For dogs and cats, choose Fido's Topizole medicated shampoo and Vetsense Otiderm ear cleaner. For sheep and cattle, Vetsense Kilverm oral drench treats common roundworms.

Hygiene and Disinfection

Clean housing is one of the best ways to stop disease spreading. Virkon S and Passwell Multi-Clens are broad-spectrum disinfectants for coops, lofts, aviaries, feeders and drinkers, and EucoClean sanitises pet bedding.

Tips for Using Bird and Poultry Medications

Weigh birds where possible and dose by body weight, following the label exactly. When medicating through water, make sure the treated water is the only drinking source, and replace it as directed. Check withholding periods before eating eggs or meat from treated birds.

Good nutrition does much of the work. Pair supplements with a quality diet from our poultry feed, pigeon feed and accessories and bird seed and feed ranges. If a bird is seriously unwell, isolate it and speak to an avian vet.
