Kilverm is effective against sensitive strains of the following parasites in pigs and poultry:
Pigs:
Large Round worms (Ascaris suum)
Mature/Immature Stomach Worms
Stomach Worm (Hyostrongylus rubidus)
Nodule Worm (Oesophagostomum dentatum)
Lung Worm (Metastrongylus spp.)
Mature Kidney Worm (Stephanurus dentatus) NSW and QLD Only
Poultry:
Large Roundworms (Ascaridia galli)
Caucal Worm (Heterakis gallinae)
Hairworm (Capillaria spp.)
The above are the most important intestinal worms in fowls, turkey and other birds.
Directions for Pigs:
Contraindication:
This product is contraindicated in extremely hot weather.
Administration:
Vestsense Kilverm may be given as a drench or mixed with the feed.
It is important that it is consumed quickly for best results.
Make sure that the pigs are slightly hungry before administration, that they have ample feeding space, and that animals of comparative size be treated together so that small or weak pigs will be receiving enough share of medicated feed.
Dose Rate for Pigs:
Oral Drench : 1mL/2kg (5mL/10kg) live weight
In Feed :
Calculate accurately the weight of the pigs and dose accurately at the rate of 5mL/10kg, thus 10 pigs of 40kg will need 200mL.
Add sufficient water or skim milk to just dampen the mash, pellets or grain, then mix thoroughly.
If using Skim Milk, add the required amount to the milk and mix thoroughly before adding to the feed.
Directions for Poultry:
Contraindication:
This product is contraindicated in extremely hot weather.
Administration:
Mix with clean drinking water.
For maximum efficiency it must be consumed in the shortest time possible.
Withhold water from birds 2 hours before nightfall.
The required amount of medicated water is then made available so that the birds can start drinking it at daylight.
Replace with clean water after 8 hours or when medication is consumed.
Birds under continuous light should be treated by withholding water for 2 hours then giving medicated water as above.
Dose Rate for Poultry:
Dilute 10mL of Vestsense Kilverm in 200mL of water for each 6kg live weight.
(1.75 mL of Vestsense Kilverm in 35mL of water per 1kg live weight) Mix 40mL/litre water for 1 day. Repeat 2 weeks later.
With Holding Periods:
Pig Meat:
DO NOT USE less than 3 days before slaughter for human consumption.

Tips for Best Results
- Weigh animals accurately — never estimate. Underdosing is one of the leading contributors to drench resistance. Weigh a representative sample of the group and dose to the heaviest animal to ensure all animals receive a therapeutic dose.
- Levamisole (Group L — clear drench) resistance awareness: Levamisole is a valuable drench class, but resistance in worm populations can develop if it is used repeatedly without rotation. Use Kilverm as part of a planned drench rotation program — alternating between drench classes (e.g. Group L, Group M, Group BZ) where appropriate — to slow the development of resistance. Consult your vet or animal health adviser to review your current program.
- Refugia management: Maintaining a proportion of untreated animals (refugia) helps preserve a susceptible worm population on your property, which dilutes resistant worms and slows resistance selection pressure. Avoid treating every animal on the property at the same time unless there is a strong clinical reason to do so — this is a core principle of sustainable parasite management.
- Hot weather contraindication: Do not use Kilverm during periods of extreme heat or when animals are heat stressed. Schedule treatments for cooler parts of the day or delay until conditions improve.
- Storage and records: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and below 25°C. Keep a treatment record for each mob or batch treated, noting the date, product used, dose given, liveweights, and withholding period expiry. Good records are essential for resistance monitoring and for food safety compliance.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
