Agri-Mectin 1% injectable Dosage for a chicken?

[Chickerella2012]

hey there, I would like to ask what the dosage per lb of bird is for Agri-Mectin 1% injectable. Recently found a hen that was overrun with lice. Treated her with ivermectin pour on, but I'd like to treat everyone else with AGRI-MECTIN injectable. Then treat the coop with permethrin 10. I don't necessarily want to douse all the birds. Injectable is my preferred method of treatment.

Thanks!

You are talking about using the injectable as a pour on, correct?
If the Ivermectin pour on strength is 5 mg/ml (0.5%), then the 1% Ivermectin injectable would be half of what you used with the pour on since it is twice as strong.

No, I am talking about using the agri-mectin as injectable. lol

The injection dose is 0.2 mg/kg intramuscularly. That calculates to 0.009 ml per lb of bird.
