Hello, excuse the reasoning in this thread, as I am posting at 5am!
I've just grabbed some info from another thread:
I was wondering which is more suitable for me with only two small buns, the 10% or 2.5% suspension? Is there a particular reason people go with the 10%? On the face of it the 2.5% suspension is cheaper as a unit but more expensive in terms of how much active ingredient you get. However, the dosage of the 10% is really small so the deciding factor is how long it keeps, because I wouldn't like to spend more on the stronger stuff to find most of it goes unused. The 10% would contain five 28 day courses for my buns but I have read:
How long does Panacur liquid last, once opened, and is there a special reason I haven't realised that people choose the 10% liquid?
Here's how I worked out the number of courses per bottle just in case someone wants to point out my reasoning is wrong:
With the 10% liquid, dose rate at 0.2ml per kg, 0.3 for Indie and 0.4 for Thor, 0.7ml altogether per day: 142 days at £14.53, 10p per day, £2.86 per 28 day course.
To get the same amount of fendendazole for the 2.5% the dose rate would be 0.8ml per kg, which would be 1.2 ml for Indie and 1.6ml for Thor per day.
That's 2.8ml altogether per day which allows for 35 days at £6.86, 19p per day, £5.28 per 28 day course.

The buns have no signs of active EC and I only boarded them twice last year, so if it lasts less than a few months once opened two separate bottles of 2.5% would still cost less than one 10%, and five courses would need to last two and a half years to be used up entirely?dustyrabbit said:
