Dosage for Ivermectin

[chickenenthusiasts5698]

For which product? The 1% injectable, the 0.05% pour-on, or the sheep drench?

Pour on.

There are three types.

• Pour on - which is meant to be given on the skin
• Injectable - can be given by injection or orally
• Drench for sheep - orally only.

Does your bottle say drench?

yes it says sheep drench

Pour on.

Okay, the amount you suggested is not for sheep drench.

Okay, the amount you suggested is not for sheep drench.

yes it says sheep drench

Sheep drench is less concentrated than the injectable and the pour on. One ml of your sheep drench = 0.8 mg.
The dose for poultry is no less than 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight. The formula to calculate the chicken dose is:
Weight of bird in pounds, divide by 2.2, times 0.2, divide by 0.8 = number of ml to give.
Example

• 1 pound - 1 / 2.2 x 0.2 / 0.8 = 0.1136 ml per one pound
• 5 pounds - 5 / 2.2 x 0.2 / 0.8 =0.568 ml per five pounds

Does that help at all?
