Contraindications
Do not use in birds in lay and within 2 weeks before the onset of the laying period.
Do not mix with any other veterinary medicinal product, except the solvent supplied for use with the veterinary medicinal product.
Special warnings for each target species:
The vaccine will not protect species other than chickens against coccidiosis and is only effective against the Eimeria species indicated.
It is normal to find vaccinal oocysts in the intestine or litter of vaccinated flocks. Generally the number is higher the first weeks post-vaccination and lower once the flock has achieved a proper protection.
Special precautions for use
Special precautions for use in animals:
Chickens must be strictly floor-reared in the first 3 weeks after vaccination.
Vaccinate healthy chickens only.
It is recommended that litter should be removed and facilities and material cleaned between production cycles to reduce field infections.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:
Wash and disinfect hands and equipment after use.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
None known.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
No information is available on the safety and efficacy of this immunological veterinary medicinal product when used with any other veterinary medicinal product. A decision to use this immunological veterinary medicinal product before or after any other veterinary medicinal product therefore needs to be made on a case by case basis.
No anticoccidial substances or other agents having anticoccidial activity via feed or water should be used for at least 3 weeks following vaccination of the chickens. The correct replication of the vaccine oocysts and consequently, the development of a solid immunity could be hindered. Additionally, the enhancement of protection produced by oocyst re-infections would also be limited.
Overdose
Severe overdose (10-fold) may result in a temporary reduction in daily live weight gain within the first week without any consequences on the final performances.
Withdrawal period
Poultry meat and eggs: zero days
For animal treatment only. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
