I've not heard of killmec.  Is it an ivermectin type drug?  If so you will probably have to inject again in around 3 weeks.

Someone else will probably have heard of it, and be able to advise further.

There is a product called Wormtec, but I had the same problem with killmec when I googled it, it came up with nothing.
Ivermectin, as mentioned, would be a good one to use. Only problem with this one is that it has a 28 day withdrawal period, where as others don't ie Safeguard, Panacur, Wormtec(Nil days) as it is organic, etc.
Has anyone used Ivermectin paste on pigs?????? I have never used it on pigs, and know its not recommended for the use in pigs, but know people do use it, so does anyone know at what rate it could be used???????
Sorry to butt in on this thread, but if anyone can help I would appreciate it???? ;D
