Administer ivermectin to your chickens at a dosage of 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight. This translates to approximately one drop of 1% ivermectin solution for a one-kilogram chicken. Always use a precise measuring device for accurate administration.
For best results, mix the prescribed ivermectin dose with a small amount of your chicken’s feed. This ensures consistent consumption and simplifies the treatment process. Observe your chickens closely for any adverse reactions following administration.
Note: This dosage is a general guideline. Consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations tailored to your flock’s size, age, and health status, especially for treating specific infestations like mites or worms. They can provide customized advice to ensure the safety and efficacy of treatment. Always follow the instructions on the ivermectin product label carefully.
Important safety precaution: Always wear gloves when handling ivermectin and store it securely out of reach of children and pets. Proper hygiene practices are vital when administering medication to poultry.
