Ivermectin milk withdrawl time?

I'm new to milking goats (we are mainly meat "breeders") and just wormed our only milker with Ivermectin (horse paste). Just wondering how long each of you wait before consuming the milk? I've read anywhere from 4 days to 35 days.

There is no "official" milk withdrawal time for goats for Ivomec or similar products. I spoke with an Ivomec rep at a farm show, and he said they won't be doing the trials to test it because there's not any money in doing it.

I do three days, but that's just me. That isn't a recommendation.
