Concentration of Ivermectin Solution?

Post by Nerien » Sun Dec 16, 2012 11:57 am

Can anyone tell me the concentration of the Abba ivermectin as you get it from Bird supply of NH? I'm not seeing it on either website.
Our local Agway has ivermectin for horses, if I can get the different concentrations of these products, I can dilute it down to the proper strength (and then do the dilution into the gallon of water) and treat the birds today. In one of my former lives (before injury, before illness, before kids...) I was a chemist and a biologist, so I can do this if I just have the right info.

The information is on the abba site.

Immediately obtain a bottle of the Ivermectin 1% injectionable solution.
Upon my returning home, to New Jersey, immediately I begin experimenting. It took long time before I come up with the proper dosages. It was not easy, I sacrifice lots of birds before I was absolutely convinced of the right dosage. In those day, I had plenty of specimen to work with ...
Ivermectin 1% injectionable solution as stated above is a parasiticide for the treatment and control of internal and external parasites of cattle, horses, dog, etc. The manufacturer, (MSD ACVET) does not recommended any dosage for cage birds or poultry for that matter? At least it is what I know, However, I don't like to read what goes on in other field.

He then goes on to describe the dosage.
How many bottles did you order from Bird Supply of NH? I see that ONE bottle makes one gallon? Don't you have to do several treatments?
