[AlpacaTalk] Re: Dectomax in alpaca beans

Hi Mike,
We went to a seminar last year where one of the discussions was just
what you are inquiring on. Dectomax and Ivermectin does stay in the
beans and take some time for it to break down. That was one of the
concerns presented was the use of the beans in compost and gardens.
I will look for tha info tonite and get back to you on the specifics
tomorrow.
Thanks
