dosage And Administration

Allow the vaccine to reach ambient temperature, 16-27°C (60-80°F), before use and shake vigorously before and periodically during use. Inject 0.5 ml intramuscularly in chickens at least 18 weeks old, using an 18 gauge x 1/2" or 1/4" needle.

Vaccination Programs

The best protection is obtained when this vaccine is used for revaccination of chickens previously immunized (primed) with the same type of live virus vaccines. A minimum of four weeks should elapse between the last live virus priming and injection with BURSAMATE PLUS. Local conditions must be taken into consideration and, where necessary, veterinary advice should be sought.

Immunity

It is evident that for optimal protection, preceding vaccination with live vaccines (priming) should have taken place. Generally, in flocks vaccinated with BURSAMATE PLUS, a protective level of immunity will be achieved with only small variations between individual chickens.

Vaccination Reaction

This vaccine does not provoke clinical reactions in chickens. If shock is observed, this must usually be ascribed to the stress of handling.

Storage Conditions

Store in the dark in a refrigerator between 2-7°C (35-45°F). DO NOT FREEZE OR EXPOSE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

Precautions And Warnings

1. TO AVOID HUMAN INJECTION, EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN INJECTING ANY OIL EMULSION VACCINE. ACCIDENTAL HUMAN INJECTION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS LOCAL REACTIONS. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF ACCIDENTAL HUMAN INJECTION OCCURS.

2. Chickens should be in good health when vaccinated. Sick or weak chickens may not develop adequate immunity.

3. Do not administer this vaccine during the critical egg laying period from onset until after peak production. Administration of this product during the lay period may result in a drop in egg production.
