Egg Withdrawal

[Adey65]

My birds are on Amoxicillin 10% powder at the moment. Do I need to avoid eating the eggs and what is the period of withdrawal? I don't give my eggs to anyone else, there's only me who eats them. Also, should I avoid giving the eggs back to my chickens for a period of time?

You really should not feed the eggs back to your birds.


I skimmed your other threads.
You are trying to treat a respiratory illness.

Yes, a respiatory illness. Its done the trick, and it's the last day of treatment on Wednesday. Is it 7 days withdrawal from the last day of treatment?

The withdrawal time is what ever you want it to be.

"Withdrawal Time​

Withdrawal time is the period of time from when a drug is administered to when the drug concentration falls below the tolerance. Every approved livestock drug has a withdrawal time, which only applies when the drug is used according to the labeled directions. Having a labeled withdrawal time does not mean there will be no drug residue in the edible tissue or food product. It means that if there are residues, they will be at or below the established tolerance level."

Seven days after treatment is completed is the usual guideline for amoxicillin for eggs.
