Gallivac IBD S706 Neo
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Chickens (broilers, future layers and broiler breeders).
Indications
Active immunisation of chickens to protect against mortality and to reduce lesions associated with Infectious Bursal (Gumboro) Disease. Onset of immunity: 2 weeks after the first administration.
Duration of immunity: immunity has been shown under field conditions to persist throughout the rearing period.
Dose to be administered and administration route
The vaccination schedule is:
Two doses:
. At 8-12 days of age, one dose administered to each bird via the drinking water.
. At 17-25 days of age, one dose administered to each bird via the drinking water. However, the choice of vaccination schedule may be adapted by the prescribing veterinary surgeon taking into account the historical vaccination program employed, level of IBD field challenge on the farm and level of maternally derived antibody in the birds to be vaccinated (high levels of maternally derived antibodies can interfere with an active immune response to vaccination).
Method of administration: For use in drinking water.
Reconstitution should be in plastic, not metal containers. Only sterile antiseptic-free materials should be used for the preparation of vaccine solution.
The tablet vaccine must not be dissolved in water containing antiseptic or disinfectant.
The vaccine should be dissolved in the drinking water immediately before use.
Wait until complete dissolution of the tablets before using the vaccine suspension. The reconstituted vaccine is a light yellow solution, and a thin foam layer may form over the surface.
The vaccine should be administered to the birds in the drinking water over a 1-2 hour period.
The volume of water required should be calculated according to the water consumption recorded a day or so before vaccination during a 2 hour period at the same period of the day as the scheduled vaccination, and treated with skimmed milk powder at a rate of 2g per litre or 10g per gallon at least 20 minutes prior to reconstituting the vaccine.
The required number of doses should be reconstituted in a small volume of water which has been treated with the milk powder in a clean, disinfectant-free plastic bucket.
Once reconstituted, add the vaccine to the drinking water volume previously calculated and mix thoroughly.
Drinker lines should be primed with vaccinated water prior to allowing the birds access to the drinkers.
Birds may be deprived of water for up to one and a half hours prior to vaccination, if necessary, in order to encourage drinking. Activating feeding systems during vaccination will also encourage drinking.
Adverse reactions
Chickens (broilers, future layers and broiler breeders):
|
Undetermined: |
Bursal disorder1 |
1 When vaccine virus is passed from bird to bird, histological examination of the bursae revealed damage to the bursa is increased. However, this is not considered to result in an immunosuppressive effect.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.
