I was told mash by the company, I would be dubious about adding oil without checking that this did not effect the pharmacokinetics

We were told at a poultry cpd evening that it is best to mix the flubenvet with enough feed for 5-7 days and add a small amount of cooking oil before adding the powder so that the mix is even. It encourages the powder to stick to the feed and not to sink to the bottom of the bucket thereby meaning each day's dose is the same. There are also lots of premedicated feeds available at feed merchants I believe.

Not if you want to continue eating the eggs without a withdrawal period.

Yes, sorry, I was just assuming that the hen was a pet or semi-pet.

There is nothing on the data sheets that says use mash not pellets. the data sheets just say mix with "feed" or am I missing some extra information somewhere?

Otherwise the distribution will not be even and the dose rate assumes that dose is controlled by how much an individual eats.

why???

I am assuming you mean dry mash ( as you have to make up a weeks worth) ?

The powder does seem to 'stick' to the pellets ok in my limited experience at home.

Flubenvet - as on the packet, nil egg w/d and licensed for poultry. Make up with mash not pellets
