The instructions for use of the drug describe how to use:

Subject to the recommended dilution proportions, the product is not toxic to birds. But a violation of the dosage can cause intoxication if the drug enters the body through the beak into the respiratory tract or the digestive system.

Important!The drug is toxic to people, therefore, medical measures and treatment of premises should not be carried out without protective devices. A regular gauze mask does not protect against toxins, so a standard technical respirator, hand gloves and clothing are needed to protect exposed areas of the body from the substance.

Instructions for use for chickens

Veterinarians recommend periodically using the drug for the treatment of premises, especially with floor keeping and dense planting of chickens. Chicken parasites die after the first application. Instructions for using the drug entomosan C, how to dilute it for chickens and apply step by step to treat feather cover:

Instructions for use for chickens

When processing individuals infected with chewing lice, the solution should be evenly distributed directly over the skin at the very base of the feathers. In the case of a large-scale lesion, the drug may be ineffective. Poultry infected with chewing lice are not used for meat production. Carcasses are burned or buried away from the house.

Important!Treating poultry alone is not effective. It is necessary to combine the destruction of parasites directly on the body of birds with disinfection of premises.

Chicken coop processing

To ensure the destruction of parasites, the birds and the poultry house should be treated together, as well as the walking yard, if necessary. If a planned treatment is carried out, entomosan should be diluted as for chickens in water. You can use the same concentration, but use more. How to disinfect:

  1. It is necessary to prepare first a solution of the emulsion in a small container so that the active substances are dissolved in water. For 2 parts of water, use 1 part of the drug.
  2. The resulting solution is added to a container with water for processing and shaken thoroughly. The ratio is 1: 200.
  3. Next comes the actual treatment of the room at the rate of 30 ml per 1 m².
  4. Open areas are treated at the rate of 0.5 liters of solution per 1 m².

Note!For quick processing, there is no need to free the room from living creatures. If a planned general cleaning and disinfection is carried out, then a larger amount of solution per 1 m² can be used in the premises, but before moving in the chickens, ventilate the chicken coop well.

Tips from experienced poultry farmers

In case of parasitic infections, action must be taken quickly and efficiently, otherwise there is a risk of losses, especially among young animals. Experienced poultry farmers are uncompromising in the fight against parasites, and this is what they advise.

  • Before breeding entomosan for chickens, you need to carry out a visual inspection of the bird. If there are signs of infectious disease in addition to parasite infestation, the affected individuals should be shown to a veterinarian. During the period of illness, processing is strictly prohibited!
  • To avoid frequent attacks of parasites, it is recommended to use slaked lime and peat as a basis for bedding.
  • After processing, slaughter cannot be performed immediately. Chicken meat will contain substances toxic to humans for another 10-11 days.
  • After processing, you need to thoroughly wash the drinkers and feeders, because the remains of the poisons can cause severe poisoning in the bird.
  • To avoid poisoning for the poultry farmer, it is recommended to take enterosorbents in a high dosage before processing.
  • It is easier to prevent infestation with parasites if you install sand and ash baths in the barn and in the walking yard.
  • It is advisable not to keep different types of animals in the same room.
  • Up to 1-1.5 months minimum, it is recommended to keep chicks separately from adults. Parasites that do not harm mature stock can trigger outbreaks of fatal disease in young stock.

Preventive treatments should not be used too often. They will be replaced by effective prevention and maintenance of proper sanitary and hygienic conditions in the poultry house. If all the rules for the use of drugs are observed, the risks are minimal!
