medicines and eggs

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I have a definite mite problem in 2 of our 9 hens, despite dusting, and I suspect they have bad mites because I think they have coccidiosis. The rest are fine, and those old enough are laying beautiful eggs.

 

Does anyone know how long we would have to withdraw eggs after treatment with 'Coxoid'?

 

Hopefully,

Cec

I have a bottle here in front of me. It is a authentic tried and tested veterinary medicine but it whilst used in chickens it is licenced only for use in pigeons. It therefore does not carry a egg withdrawal notification just 'Do Not Use in birds intended for human consumption'. The data sheet states "Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay- As the product is indicated for use only in birds, there is no information applicable to this product".

 

I would guess at 7 days but that is a guess, I would suggest phoning Harkers who make it on 01284 761131
