Just wondering why people use all different antibiotics to get rid of an intestinal parasitic worm ? I've been putting Ivermectin in the water once every three months and haven't had any signs of cocci or mites for a year.
Hi, need to make the question clearer.
I do paste worm my horses with ivermectin.
However....
I take 500 lbs of the tube marking, shake it in a gallon jug of water
and add this to another gallon in a free standing waterer for my chickens.
Maybe I misunderstood but I thought the medicated feed in chick starter is an antibiotic, aureomycin (chlortetracycline bisulfate), and sulmet-sulfamethazine bisulfate.
This kills all the cocci and the mites. With so many people asking "what is this blood in my chickens poo" and getting the advice of sulmet, just not understanding..... when it seems Ivermectin should wipe out the cocci and last way way longer. Cocci are parasites- correct??
