Can Moxivet be used in egg laying chickens? What is the egg withdrawal time?

I never knew of Moxivet. Thank you for the introduction. From what I have read, it seems to be very effective. The bad news is that this is what I found specific to Moxivet Plus.

Well, shoot. I hope 2 weeks of egg withdrawal is okay. I gave it to my entire flock.

Did you ever find out more about this product and the egg withdrawal time?

I know this is an old thread... How did you dose the moxivet?

 

[triciayoung]

5cc per gallon of water, treat them for 24 hours. It can be done only every 3-months.
