Dose to be administered and administration route
Vaccination schedule
Broilers: one dose of vaccine from 1 day of age by spray vaccination.
Future layers or breeders: one dose of vaccine from 7 days of age by spray vaccination. The vaccine may be administered as early as 1 day of age to future layers or breeders with MDAs against IBV.
Administration
The veterinary medicinal product can be used in most types of spray equipment. The equipment should provide coarse spray (droplets greater than 100 μm). The distance from the spraying head to the bird is dependent upon the type of sprayer used. It is recommended to consult the instructions from the manufacturer of the spraying device before use. Resuspension volumes vary based upon the type of spray equipment as well. The recommended resuspension volume for 1 dose is between 0.15 and 0.5 ml.
Remove the aluminium seal from the vaccine vial. To dissolve the vaccine pellet, the rubber stopper should be removed whilst the vial is immersed in a plastic measuring jug containing 1 litre of clean cool water. Half fill the vial with water, replace the stopper and shake to dissolve any remaining vaccine. The vaccine concentrate should then be added to the water in the spray tank and thoroughly mixed.
Administer at a rate of one dose of prepared vaccine per bird.
Upon reconstitution, transparent to white opaque suspension (depending on the volume of diluent used).
