The study I linked to showing the effectiveness of Ivermectin was only done subcutaneously. I did not find a study on the effectiveness of non-subcutaneous Ivermectin treatments on screw worms.
Given one of the areas they focused on the study is the scrotal area post castration, I don't expect that a pour on would cover that area well enough to be an effective treatment. Happy to read other studies if you have them showing otherwise.

- neuroelectron 1y agoYou can use it topically but typically it's an oral dose.
- MillironX 1y agoThere are injectable and transdermal (pour-on and ear tag) forms for cattle and pigs. I'm not aware of an oral formulation for food animals, even though that's pretty common for horses.
