ALBEN GOAT & SHEEP WORMER 1LT VIRBAC ALBEN001

Why Choose Alben:

For your white drench rotation:
Alben contains albendazole, a member of the benzimidazole (BZ or white) drench family.
If white drenches are still effective on your property, Alben provides an opportunity to rotate away from macrocyclic lactone (ML) or levamisole (clear) drenches.

Broad spectrum worm control:
Alben will control all major roundworms that are susceptible to a BZ drench (except whipworms). These worms reduce overall productivity especially in young animals.
Weight gains can be affected significantly.
Alben also controls tapeworms and aids in the control of adult liver fluke.

Registered for goats:
There are very few drenches registered for use in goats.
Alben has been used safely by goat producers across Australia for many years, and continues to be one of the more popular drenches used in the goat industry.

Very safe:
Albendazole is amongst the safest of all active ingredients used in oral drench formulations.

Ovicidal:
Albendazole is ovicidal, ensuring that roundworm eggs passed in the dung are rendered infertile, reducing the potential for further pasture contamination.
To obtain the maximum benefit of this, sheep and goats should not be placed on clean pasture until 12 hours after drenching.

Dosage:
Alben is given orally at the recommended dose rate of 1mL/5kg bodyweight for the control of roundworms and tapeworms.
Alben is applied orally using standard drenching equipment.
Shake well before use.
