Dosage for Ivermectin

[giordanohappyplace]

Hello, i have Ivermectin for sheep 20-100lb dose the bottle says and was going to use it to worm my flock, can someone please tell me what the dosage is to mix with their water. Also I have a sick hen that I have separated from the rest of the flock that isn't eating or drinking so i was going to treat her as well but i am having to give her water through a syringe since she is not eating or drinking, can you tell me how much i should give her as well please

Is it pour on or injection?

Do you have the ivermectin for sheep? If so the per bird dose is no less than 0.12 ml per pound of bodyweight orally, which = ~0.57 ml per five pounds.

I would not give the sick hen ivermectin. It is just going to make her worse unless the cause is roundworm infection, which I doubt it is, since those are not normal symptoms of that illness. Giving her a poison is just going make things worse. If it were me, I would bring her to see a vet - http://www.poultrydvm.com/poultry-vets.php

Yes that is what i have, i wasnt sure to do the whole flock if i needed to put in their water or give individually to each one

I'm not sure how water-soluble it is, so I would give it orally. But be warned, it's not an effective poultry de-wormer, something like Safeguard or Valbazen would be better.

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?

This is what I go by.

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