What are the environmental impacts of using Ivermectin?
Laboratory studies indicate some possible affects of ivermectin on crustaceans; however there is no evidence to indicate that its use in salmon feed has had an impact on the environment. Given the judicious use of this product and precautions taken to reduce the risk of loss of feed into the environment, the risk of impact is low. With the advent of new safer products such as SLICEĀ®, the use of ivermectin has decreased.
