But if you want to put it in the water, the dose is 0.16ml per liter (40ml divided by 250 liters = 0.16ml)
Kathy- ivermectin is a problem in the US for some because parasites have acquired immunity to it. In Kuwait they very likely haven't. I use ivermectin pour on at 2.5ml per yearling bird on their backs between their wings on the skin and it works great I.E. vet checked fecals. You can use the injectable the same way, but it must be applied to the skin.
The dosage given above sounds really light to me.
Trefoil, keep in mind my all my birds came from US, not sure if this will make any difference here, also 90% of peafowls in Kuwait came from US specially the new colors.Kathy- ivermectin is a problem in the US for some because parasites have acquired immunity to it.
