Hi i know this is a old thread but was wondering if there is a meat withholding period when youve treated with cydecin ? I read there is no withholding period for eggs is that right?.also I have a rooster that i discovered that has lice so recently treated with the cydecin , i incubate eggs from his hens - should i wait or would the eggs be ok?

Though this is a fairly old post, for Information, - Cydectrin is actually a totally different chemical to Ivermectin. Cydectin is Moxidectin. The cattle pourons have a 5 week withholding for meat with the Ivermectin, the Cydectin has zero milk and meat withholding, for cattle. I use Cydectin cattle pouron with great success. The rates (in Australia) are 1 ml / 10 kg for cattle. Using a small diabetic syringe (with the needle broken off and safely disposed of, ) or a 2 1/2 ml syringe, apply to the skin (not the feathers) between the shoulders of your chook. I have trialled on sacrificial roosters up to 2 ml and no ill effects. So if you use at the same rate as cattle, a 5 kg chicken can have .5 ml (half a ml). This will delouse demite and deworm your chickens effectively and safely. Though off label Cydectin Pouron is an accepted and widely used med for poultry and caged birds. If you are not sure best to test on a weighed sacrificial rooster. I have also used on young chickens and not killed any chooks yet with it.
