Choose the Right Product

• Dusting powder: Review the label for the permitted application sites and any precautions.
• Dust applicator: Compare hopper capacity and tube reach. The applicator dispenses powder and is sold separately.
• Feed supplement: Review ingredients and label directions for your flock. Ask a poultry veterinarian about suspected intestinal parasites.
