Safeguard sheep and goat? How to apply as well?

Ivermectin- a drop on neck, a drop under each wing is how ive done it..

What else do i need?
 
Corid dosages can be found here, and they change depending on whether you bought the liquid or the powder form.

There are two types of ivermectin. The dosage depends on which form you purchased (pour-on vs injectable) and weight of each bird. Do not just dab it on at random. It's very easy to overdose.

My personal dose for Ivermectin pour-on is 1 drop from a medicine dropper per 1lb.

Example
When I treated for scaly leg mites, my tiny 1.3-lb d'Uccle got 1 drop. My over 2-lb Pekin got 2 drops. Back of the neck placement.

You ask what else do you need, what are you trying to treat?

To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Fenbendadole Safeguard 10% Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Here's how to give oral medications:

Tylosin dosing is on the package. 1 teaspoon (5 grams) Tylosin Powder per 1 gallon of drinking water for 7 consecutive days.

Corid
Liquid Corid (Amprolium) dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

Ivermectin is dosed by Weight and is in this post below.
The dose is not drops. :D Birds should be weighed or at least have their weights guessed and the proper amount should be given. I have bolded the amount I use.

There are two types, one is injectable, the other is a pour on. The doses are different.

The max dose for 1% Ivermectin is 1 mg/kg which is 0.045 ml per pound. This can be given orally, by injection, or topically.
A five pound hen would get 0.23 ml.


The minimum effective dose for 1% Ivermectin is 0.2 mg/kg which is 0.009 ml per pound. This can be given orally, by injection, or topically.
A five pound hen would get 0.045 ml


The max dose for Pour On Ivermectin is 1 mg/kg which is 0.09 ml per pound. This is given topically only.
A five pound hen would get 0.45 ml.

The minimum effective dose for Pour On Ivermectin is 0.5 mg/kg, which is 0.045 ml per pound. This is given topically only.
A five pound hen would get 0.23 ml

DO NOT USE this on your dogs unless you are working with a vet!
