Species
Chickens
Indications
For the prevention of mortality and clinical signs due to infection with avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus. Onset of immunity is 14 days post vaccination. Duration of immunity has not been assessed, however, experience from field use indicates that once vaccinated birds remain immune to avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus infection during entire laying period.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Vaccine is administered to chickens from 4 weeks of age by eye drop.
1000 doses of freeze dried vaccine must be completely dissolved in 30 ml of the sterile diluent provided and a drop of dispenser calibrated to deliver at least three hundredth of a millilitre per drop must be used.
Remove the rubber stopper from the vaccine vial and add sterile diluent to half fill the vial. Replace the rubber stopper and shake gently so that all the vaccine material is completely dissolved.
Pour the dissolved vaccine into the remaining sterile diluent and shake again until completely mixed. The sterile diluent should be at room temperature when used.
Fit the drop dispenser on the bottle. Hold the bird so that one eye is pointed upwards and allow one drop of vaccine to fall into the eye.
Contact with the disinfectant makes the vaccine ineffective.
Protect the reconstituted vaccine from heat or direct sunlight.
Adverse reactions
About four days after vaccination, redness and some swelling of the conjunctiva, or laboured breathing may be seen. Under good hygienic conditions, this reaction will not last longer than three days.
