Ivermectin

[Shadrach]

We *can* advertise it here.

Really? That's all good then.

Those of you in Europe and Canada should be able to buy ivermectin horse paste.
Just let me know exactly what it is and I can calculate the dose for you.

Of course it's okay.

Of course it's okay.

So Ivermectin is licensed for use on poultry in the USA?

Not, but it *can* be used if proper withdrawal times are observed. Just because it's not licensed or not approved doesn't mean it can't be used.

I think we've been here before.
No, it is not licensed for use on poultry.
I have not read any reliable reports on withdrawal time probably because it hasn't been officially licensed, or tested.

We have.

No, it is not licensed for use on poultry.

In the US we usually say labeled for use or approved for use, but I think it means the same.

Contact FARAD and request withdrawal time from them:

I think they will say 8 weeks regardless of dose.

Back to the word "license" and what it means here. It does not mean that we can't use the drug, it just means one should follow proper withdrawal periods.

Example... In other threads you keep mentioning flubenvet and say something like "it's the only wormer licensed to treat worms", but that is not true, here in the US it is *not* licensed, labeled, or approved for poultry. That doesn't mean we can't use it, it just means we should follow some sort of withdrawal.

Many European chicken owners have had all sorts of drugs prescribed, including stuff like Baytril.

Anyway, I guess all I am trying to say is if someone has a chicken that needs medication, just use it, but do follow some sort of withdrawal if that sort of thing matters to you.

Interesting point. I shall make sure if I mention Flubendazole again that I point out that it is licensed for use on poultry in the UK and in Spain and maybe elsewhere.
Afaik there is no withdrawal time for Flubendazol which may be why it is licensed for use on poultry in the UK etc. I'll check.

Fenbendazole is also on the zero day withdrawal list in the UK.

Fenbedazole is also on the zero day withdrawal list in the UK.

That's what I thought but I'll double check.
