Ivermectin Dosage - homework done, need clarification please!

[Miss Lydia]

Drops are a great way to underdose. Best not to do it.


The "minimum" effective pour-on dose is 0.5mg/kg
1 / 2.2 x 0.5 / 5 = ~0.045 ml per pound.

The dose I would use is 1 mg/kg
1 / 2.2 x 1 / 5 = ~0.045 ml per pound.

I would give the following:

• 4.5 pound duck
  • 4.5 / 2.2 x 1 / 5 = 0.4 ml
• 6 pound duck
  • 6 / 2.2 x 1 / 5 = 0.55 ml
• 40 pound turkey
  • 40 / 2.2 x 1 / 5 = 3.64 ml

Is this by mouth? since you are saying give I assume this is by mouth?

I've been using Ivermectin pour-on as a preventive for mites with my chickens for years but on the neck.
