Astig is a tablet dewormer Excellence markets under the name “Premium Dewormer,” positioned as broad-spectrum against several worm species in poultry.
What Is Actually In It
No active ingredient list for Astig could be confirmed. Excellence’s product page names the worm species it targets in detail but does not disclose which compound or compounds achieve that, in the description or dosage text this research could reach. This page does not infer a composition from the product’s name or its “Premium Dewormer” subtitle.
What the Label Says It Is For
Excellence’s label describes Astig as a “broad-spectrum dewormer active against large roundworm (Ascaridia galli), Caecal worm (Heterakis gallinarum), Hairworm (capillaria sp.), Gapeworm (Syngamus trachea) and Tapeworms (Raillietina spp. and Choanataenia spp.) in poultry.” That is the manufacturer’s own indication text, reproduced here rather than restated as this site’s own claim. It names which worm species the label targets. It is not a statement that a given bird carries any of them, which typically requires a fecal exam to confirm.
Forms It Comes In
Astig is sold as a tablet, in boxes of 100. Excellence’s label instructs giving 1 tablet per chicken weighing 1.5 to 2 kg, with a follow-up dose after 21 days, or as recommended by a veterinarian. That instruction is quoted verbatim in the fact table above, sourced directly from the manufacturer’s own product page, and is not repeated or adjusted in this body text.
Withdrawal Period
Excellence publishes a withdrawal period of 5 to 7 days for meat, meaning that many days must pass between the last dose and slaughter. The manufacturer does not publish a separate egg withdrawal figure. Absence of a published egg figure is not the same as a zero-day withdrawal, and it is not treated as one here.
What This Page Does Not Tell You
This page transcribes what Excellence publishes about Astig. It does not tell a reader what the product actually contains, since that was not disclosed, nor whether a given bird actually carries one of the worm species named on the label. See /blog/deworming-guide for general background on deworming poultry, and take a bird’s specific situation to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office before deciding on treatment.
