Dosage for corid 9.6% oral solution

[wvchics]

I have just started treating for cocci with liquid corid. I also plan on worming as well. I have pour on ivermectin to do so should I wait until they have finished the treatment and vitamins for cocci or is it safe to administer this now. I don't want to put too much in their systems at once, but they are due to be wormed.

You can give Corid and ivermectin at the same time, but ivermectin is not a very good poultry de-wormer.

What would you recommend. I'm worming more as prevention, but I was told this treats for more than worms and also doesn't contaminate the eggs

There are studies that show it's not effective in treating capillary worms, gapeworms, and maybe even cecal worms. You shouldn't worm unless you know you have worms, then you should use a wormer known to treat that worm. Ivermectin does require egg withdrawal, so if some told you otherwise, they are mistaken. I would suggest having a vet check some poop for worm eggs. If you can't do that, and you still want to treat them, get some Valbazen and treat each bird orally.

It's not oral it's topical, but I'll read up on it some more

I'm suggesting that you not use the ivermectin, but instead use Valbazen. Topical or oral ivermectin might treat roundworms, but will not treat other worms.

Well then it should suit my purpose as their primary exposure would be to common pets. Either way like I said I'll research it more before I decide.

Casportpony,
I looked up ivermectin, and it's actually used to treat humans as well indicating that the small doses received through the chickens eggs should be perfectly safe for humans. Studies show resistance so far only consists of Caenorhabditis elegans, and is still greatly effective for all other parasites. It is also effective for 6 months to a year before possible recontamination. It is used preventively and for treatment. Thanks for your reply. I'm very glad I looked it up, and appreciate your answer to my original question. My main concern was using them together. Drugs.com says most side effects in humans is due to the death of parasites. Thanks for your recommendation. I will make note of it for an alternative should I need one.

Anthelmintic efficacy of ivermectin against Syngamus trachea and Capillaria spp. in pheasant.
Lamka J1, Svobodová V, Slézková J.
Author information
Abstract
Ivermectin (IVM) was perorally administered in dosage schemes 1 x 0.8 mg/kg of body weight (b.w.), 1 x 1.6 mg/kg h.w., 3 x 0.8 mg/kg b.w., and 3 x 1.6 mg/kg b.w. to pheasants infected by Syngamus trachea and Capillaria spp. The samples of faeces were coprologically examined. The clinical state of pheasant was controlled. In all of the used therapeutical schemes the helminthostatic or partially helminthocide effect against adults of worms was reached. The clinical signs of helmithoses were reduced only. IVM in tested doses is not possible to recommend as an effective drug of pheasant syngamosis and capillariosis.

Ivermectin as a bird anthelmintic--trials with naturally infected domestic fowl.
Oksanen A, Nikander S.
Abstract
To evaluate the use of ivermectin as a bird anthelmintic, 29 White Leghorn hens naturally infected with Ascaridia spp., Heterakis spp. and Capillaria spp. were treated with 0.2, 2 or 6 mg/kg intramuscularly or 0.2 or 0.8 mg/kg orally. Faecal samples were collected before treatment and at autopsy, 2, 6, or 16 days after treatment, when the intestines were also examined for helminths. None of the treatments gave satisfactory anthelmintic results.

Dosage for corid 9.6% liquid is 9.5cc/ml per gallon of water....4.75cc/ml per half gallon of water (2 quarts). You can cut that in half if you want for one chicken (corid and water.) Treat your hen 5-7 days with it.

Thanks for the ratio. It will be helpful for my ladies.
