Avitrol Plus Wormer Syrup Concentrate is a broad spectrum dewormer to be used for the treatment of different worms including threadworm (Capilliaria spp.), caecal worm (Heterakis spp.), roundworm (Ascaridia spp.), tapeworm (Raillietina spp.), gape worm (Syngamus spp.) and gizzard worm (Acuaria spp.) in caged birds. The diluted dose is easy to administer and safe for the treatment of large varieties of worms.
To prevent re-infestation, practice good hygiene and sanitation and eliminate dampness. Regular treatment as well as preventing birds’ access to intermediate hosts such as grasshoppers, cockroaches and earthworms, also helps in controlling worm re-infestation.
