Egg withdrawal period for mite treatment

[casportpony]

Highs in the mid 40’s lows 30’s.

That's pretty cold. Not sure I'd wanna get birds wet in those temps. Have you tried permethrin powder or ivermectin?

Agrees, too cold for wet stuff.
Use permethrin powder if you don't want withdrawal.
What's the withdrawal for ivermectin @casportpony?

Withdrawal - I think is no less than 2 weeks, and I think I saw a post from a vet that contacted FARAD, and that might have said 4 weeks, maybe even 6 weeks? I'll see if I can find that.

Thanks. I’m going to see about the permethrin powder. I do have Ivermectin, but seems like a waste if I have to throw out 6 weeks of eggs! Yikes.

5%? You sure that's not 0.5%?

No, it is 5%, otherwise known as one part in twenty.

Can you show a picture of the product?

Important note... The zero day egg withdrawal when using permethrin on poultry is for the amounts labeled.
