Got Red Mite in Your Hen House? These products will help...

Pour-on Drench 30ml

Description

Very effective for treating poultry lice.

Used with great results in poultry circles as a reliable treatment for most internal and external parasites. Generally used for the treatment of poultry lice and scaly leg mite, but will also kill any red mites that try to suck off your chicken. 
It is a topical treatment applied directly to the skin of the bird. It is approved for use on other farm animals but has not been officially approved for use on poultry, hence the recommended 10 day withholding period for eggs (and 63 in NZ for meat).
This little bottle will treat a good number of birds.
Dosage rate is 0.1ml per 1kg live body weight.
Approximately 60 treatments.
(calculated on 60 brown shavers that weigh 2.5kg each )
Available in a dropper bottle with a nozzle and cap for handy dosing.

Helpful Notes.

What are you treating your birds for?

Worms?

  •  We recommend using an approved wormer for treating worms in poultry. Our recommended choice for laying birds is Flubenol, as there is no withholding period for eggs.
  • If treating birds that are not laying then Aviverm is easier to dose. Please note with Aviverm, there is an 8-day withholding period for egg consumption.
  • If using pour-on drench, please note it does not kill all types of internal worms.
  • We recommend following up treatment within the prepatent period of the particular worm you are treating for. Please read our informative blog on working chickens.

Lice?

  • If you are treating for external parasites, eg, a one-off treatment usually does the trick; however, if not all birds are treated and the hen house is not thoroughly cleaned (disinfected), then birds can reinfest quickly.
  • For best practice, we recommend checking birds after 7 to 10 days and repeating the treatment as lice eggs can hatch in this period of time.
  • We generally inspect (physical health check) our birds 2 to 4 times a year (usually when the seasons change) and treat them accordingly for lice.
  • We find that the pour-on drench, when dosed correctly, works brilliantly for lice control. 
  • Read our informative blog on treating lice.

Important Considerations.

  • Off-Label Use: Cydectin is approved for use in other farm animals like cattle and sheep, but does not have an official, scientifically tested withholding period for poultry specific to the label. The recommended periods for poultry are derived from New Zealand's default withholding periods for unregistered veterinary medicines in birds to ensure human food safety.
  • Active Ingredient Accumulation: The active ingredient, moxidectin, is highly lipophilic (fat-loving) and accumulates in fatty tissues, including the egg yolk, which causes residues to persist for a longer period.
  • Correct Dosage: It is crucial to use the correct dosage (applied to the skin, such as under the wing or on the back of the neck) 
  • Egg Management: Eggs laid during the withholding period should not be eaten or fed back to the flock, as this can reintroduce the chemical into the birds' systems and prolong the withdrawal period. They can, however, be used for incubation. Don’t feed them to other animals, such as dogs, as residues may affect them too.

Poison. Keep away from children.
Please note this is a liquid and we cannot slip it into a courier satchel - it needs to be sent in a box.
