I use Ivomec Eprinex Ivermectin pour on for cattle. It has no slaughter OR milk withdraw time. Kills internal and external parasites.

This is incorrect information. Please read the following.

"Cattle must not be treated within 48 days of slaughter for human consumption. Because a withdrawal time in milk has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle of breeding age. A withdrawal period has not been established for this product in pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal"

Sorry, I am not incorrect. Your information is true for a different wormer than I am talking about. I use this one HERE . The active ingredient is not the same. Ivomec is the brand/manufacture name I'm pretty sure. The one you're talking about has the active ingredient ivermectin. The active ingredient in Ivomec Eprinex Ivermectin is eprinomectin, and the manufacturer's label states: "When used according to label directions, neither a pre-slaughter drug withdrawal period nor a milk discard time is required, therefore, meat and milk from cattle treated with Ivomec Eprinex Pour-On may be used for human consumption at any time following treatment. "

Yep, no milk, meat OR egg withdrawl on Eprinex. It's what I use on my chickens

yeah. That's not to say some folks wouldn't still WANT to have a self imposed withdraw time, but it's not expressly written on the label. Quite the opposite.

lol no worries!! I think it's not as common. Even the feed store I shop at didn't know what I was talking about and thought I meant the one you linked to. The only reason I could find it on line (or at the feed store I ended up getting it from) is because I knew what the box looked like. I think Ivomec is the more "common" of them all, so it pops up in searches... especially since the word "ivomec" also in the other label.
