Any idea how that works?

I'm guessing enough ivermectin gets excreted to do the job.

And the data for egg withdrawal time?

Isn't there some rule against feeding kitchen scraps to chickens there?

I don’t have enough time left in my life to look up all the ridiculousness of the UK.
This is one of my favorites. Lol

What do you mean?

I ordered a 1% solution to try for myself. I would be interested to know how long it stays in the bloodstream.
I've not read anything that says it doesn't work; that's not what I'm concerned about although I've read differing opinions on it's effectiveness against lice.

You said you treated birds for lice in the past with a powder or dust. What’s the active ingredient?

Well, interestingly it's not just the UK that hasn't licensed Ivermectin for poultry; it seems to be most of the rest of the world that have any regulations regarding drugs for poultry.

Google "farad ivermectin egg residue" and that should find some of the studies I remember reading. I have the PDFs on my computer, but not on this iPad. Let me know if you don't find what you're looking for and I'll post them here.

Just so you know... that’s not really happening in the UK...

Good grief, the chickens here don't get lice, or mites. They're not American you know.
Permethrin as advised by a vet.
