Totally confused about Ivomec and how to use!!

[Amandahoward1986]

NO Ivermectin for chickens and they get kinda weird at the FS store when you tell them that you are using it for chickens... but yes, I use the pour-on for cattle... for a banty-size bird I use 2 (eye-dropper) drops, between the shoulder blades/back of neck area, DIRECTLY on the skin (not feathers)... for a standard size bird, use 4-5 drops... I repeat in 10-14 days... I don't eat the eggs for 2 weeks after each application (so 4 weeks total)... but have been told that it can be done (eating eggs).

Don't know about putting it in their water... I would imagine that for a large flock this would be the way to go... but I have no dosage for you... for a small flock, if you don't mind handling everyone, I would use the above direct drop method.

Was U using the 0.8g/Litre ivomec?

Ok, I have read so many posts until my head is hurting.

Can someone please explain to me how to use Ivomec Eprinex Pour/Ivermectin/Ivomec Injection?

I went to TSC and there were 2 different boxes. One box says that it is a pour on for cattle and swine and the other box says that it is an injection. But from what I have been reading, everyone uses this as a dewormer for chickens. Is this cattle and swine pour on/injection med the same Ivomec that everyone is using? This is the cattle dewormer right? And although it says "pour on", you can still mix it with water for chickens to drink right? And the Ivomec cattle and swine injection can be dispensed by needle and mixed in water for chickens so that they may drink it right?

Sorry to sound like a 4th grader in math class but I want to be certain that I am on the right track. I don't want to kill my flock by using the wrong medication. If someone can confirm that I am on the right track or NOT on the right track, I would appreciate it.

I’ve been confused as well! Thank you for asking

You were looking at old threads, times change. I dont recommend using Ivomec products anymore. For a lot of folks ivermectin has lost its effectiveness in poultry due to its overuse.
Stick with benzimidazole wormers.
