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 that 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.

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.

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, ensuring 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.

          Thank you

          My poultry drench was sent quickly, and has clear, easy to follow instructions. So much easier for me to be able to apply an external drench for my flock of 12. I'll be buying again.

          Fast and easy

          Ive had an old girl struggling with lice and scaley leg mites, and this has been the only thing thats worked. I dosed my girls 4 days ago and theyre already looking better.

          I really appreciated the easy way to work out the dose rate too. It was fast, easy and clean to apply, and my girls are happy.

          Easy to use

          So easy to use and my girls seem brighter. Use DENZ in their coop and dust some on them but that's messy compared to the spot on treatment that I put on them at night. Withholding period is fine with me too.

          great prodict if you don't mind the witholding period

          arrived quickly and good solution to mip lice in the bud if you have a mid sized, free range flock where tree roosting makes use of powders and dusts tricky.

          Super Easy to use

          I have chickens you can pat/pick up and some chickens that you can't. For the girls that I can, putting 3 drops on the back of their necks was super easy at bedtime. For the other girls I just put the drops onto fresh bits of gobble down size bread and they were happy to eat it with no stress for them or me. Now just waiting the 14 recommended days before we can start consuming their lovely eggs again 😋

          Used for scaly leg mites and has worked very well. I only have two chickens so easy to pick them up at bed time to dose them.
          Other Red mite and lice treatment hasn’t worked on leg mites previously so very happy to have this resolved for my girls :)

          Impressive and worth the price

          Was losing the battle with lice on one of my hens and after reading reviews on this product I ordered and have to say it’s worth the money. My hen I was lice free after 2 or 3 days. Recommend this if you don’t mind the egg withhold period (my hen isn’t laying currently so wasn’t an issue)

          Pour-on Drench 30ml

          Biggest bonus is that it detailed on the bottle (comes with applicator), how many drops per different sized breeds...I've mostly Bantams and Barnies (being the smallest of the Large breed I've got here)...so easy to use! Dont have to pay 'an arm or leg' for other chemicals that comes in large amount. This is way more convenience for small scale breeder/poultry keeper. :O)

          Worked really well. My chickens had a huge infestation of lice and I put one drop on the small chickens and two drops on the larger ones. It only took 2 days and all the live are gone. Any new lice that hatched have died

          Excellent product! Lice dead within a day.

          Seemed to work ok

          Arrived fast by mail, and I used this on my ring neck doves which got pigeon feather mites, the instructions said 1 drop per 1kg, well geepers my doves dont weigh that much & I had no way of weighing them anyway, so thought how do I give them half a drop?.. but then took the chance at 1 drop per bird, they didn't die luckily,..so I did it again 3 weeks later same dosage and it seems to have done the trick,all the mites are gone, and all birds are alive & healthy,so I'm pleased with this product as it did what its spose to.

          This product worked well. We were moving our chickens to a new hutch and applied this to their necks and the Poultry Leg Spray to their legs as we shifted them over. Easy to use. many thanks.
