For oral use.
The method of administration is by coarse spray.
Vaccination dosing schedule:
One dose of vaccine (0.007 ml) from 1 day of age.
Administration route:
The method of administration is by coarse spray by using a suitable device (volume delivered: 28 ml/100 chicks, droplet size: 200–250 μm and working pressure: 2 to 3 bars). Before starting the preparation, make certain to have a clean container available with sufficient capacity for preparing the diluted vaccine suspension. Dilute the vaccine with the corresponding volumes:
Dose | Water (ml) | Vaccine (ml) | Solvent (ml) | Total (ml) |
1,000 | 223 | 7 | 50 | 280 |
5,000 | 1,115 | 35 | 250 | 1,400 |
10,000 | 2,230 | 70 | 500 | 2,800 |
Shake the solvent vial. Dilute the content of the vial with clean room temperature water into an appropriate container.
Shake the vaccine vial and dilute the content into the previous solution.
Fill the reservoir of the spraying device with all the vaccine suspension prepared.
Maintain the diluted vaccine suspension in continuous homogenisation by using a magnetic stirrer while the vaccine is being administered via coarse spray to the chicks.
To improve the uniformity of the vaccination maintain the chicks inside the transportation box for at least 1 hour in order to let them ingest all the vaccine droplets.
After this time, place the chicks carefully in the litter and continue with regular management practices.
The device should be cleaned after each use. See the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper disinfection and maintenance of the device.
