For Ivomec Eprinex the dose is 0.25 ml for bantams and 0.5 ml for large fowl. Best administered from a syringe (without needle of course.) You should be able to pick up syringes from the feed store, or you can probably beg a child dosing gadget out of the Pharmacist. Don't try to do it with drops; the amount of liquid in a drop varies considerably from liquid to liquid; drops are only accurate when referring to a specific medication.

I imagine you'll have a hard time finding the dose for turkeys or ducks. I've never owned any. I have no idea if they even need it, though it makes sense they would.

You're already off label using it on chickens. You could try talking to a vet. Or you could do it by weight. A typical large fowl hen is, glancing over Henderson's, around 5 pounds, so if you have a 10 lb. turkey you could give 1.0 ml. I haven't the faintest idea whether it is safe for turkeys or ducks, let me be clear about that.

To administer, part the feathers from one spot on the back of the neck and squirt directly on skin. I have done this twice now; easy to do on the roost, by myself.

Good luck.

I did the .5ml for guineas and medium ducks like my khaki campbells
.25 ml for my call ducks
.75 for my big ducks...pekins and blue swedes


I sorta made it up as I went, but it worked for me.

thank you so much for that

ive never kept calls so dont know how big they are...what would you recommend for runners and muscovies? 0.5ml for the scovies? maybe a little less for the runners?
