IF you have not wormed in a long time, or you think they are loaded with worms, I suggest using a bit less than the suggested dose. That way they don't all die at once, causing overload.

Give the first dose, then follow up with another dose in 7-10 days. Following up is important. Wormers don't kill the eggs, so the 7-10 day interval allows them to hatch, then be eliminated with the second dose.

I have been using pour on for cattle, on their skin to kill bugs. So i figured some may absorb into their systems and kill worms.

It hit 70 here yesterday, today is mid to high 30s. Supposed to get warmer overnight.

It does say for internal and external parasites, that's why I use it!

From many posts, and comments I've read here on BYC, it's pretty effective, depending on the worm load, and type(s) of worms involved. I've gotten used to using the other type wormers, so that's what I use. It's nothing against the pour-on product. The question was about reduced egg production after using it. As I said, I don't know about the pour-on product, because I use an oral wormer, however, with the oral wormer there can be reduced production for a couple days, then production resumes as normal.

Ron, it may only be for sex-links, but I thought it was still interesting. I like to keep up with the latest. While this is yet in it's infancy, it might lead to them being able to tell the gender of all chicks before they hatch, someday.

I used to use Wazine, but i think they quit making it.

It is a good idea for big hatcheries. That way they can dispose of the males before hatching.

They do have to have feathers so it would be fairly late in incubation.

The consensus is that ivermectin does not work for mites and lice. The jury is out for it working on worms and then only for round worms.

Wazine is better for worms.
