vaccination Programs

Many factors must be considered in determining a sound vaccination program for a particular farm or poultry complex. To be fully effective, the vaccine must be administered properly to healthy, receptive birds maintained in a proper environment under good management. In addition, the response may be influenced by the age of the birds and their immune status.

Seldom does one live virus vaccination under field conditions produce lifetime protection for all individuals in a given flock. The level of immunity required will vary with operational practices and the degree of exposure. Therefore, a program of periodic revaccinations may be necessary.

Preparation Of The Vaccine

For Coarse Spray Application

DO NOT OPEN AND MIX THE VACCINE UNTIL READY TO BEGIN VACCINATION. USE THE VACCINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING AND OPEN ONLY ENOUGH VIALS TO VACCINATE ONE HOUSE AT A TIME.

1. Tear off the aluminum seal(s) and carefully remove the rubber stopper(s) from the vaccine vial(s).

2. Carefully pour cool, non-chlorinated water into the vaccine vial until the vial is approximately 3/4 full.

3. Insert the rubber stopper and shake vigorously until all material is dissolved.

4. The vaccine is now ready for coarse spray application in accordance with the directions below.

Coarse Spray Administration

For Chickens One Day of Age

1. Use rehydrated vaccine as indicated for specific coarse spray vaccination machine. For example, a machine which dispenses 7 ml to a box of 100 chickens would require a volume of 70 ml of non-chlorinated water for 1,000 doses. Mix thoroughly.

2. Add the prepared vaccine solution to reservoir on the machine.

3. Prime and adjust machine as instructed in manual accompanying the specific machine.

4. Place boxes holding 100 chickens on the conveyor belt or in machine and activate spray head.

Coarse Spray Administration

For Chickens 1 Day of Age or Older

1. Add distilled water to sprayer tank according to manufacturer's directions regarding water volume.

2. Put the reconstituted vaccine in the sprayer tank and mix thoroughly.

3. Do not use any disinfectants or skim milk in sprayer.

4. Use sprayer only for administration of vaccine.

5. Spray vaccination method should be done only in houses that can be closed tightly. Close all windows, doors, ventilators, and shut off all fans while spray vaccinating.

6. Spray the vaccine directly on birds.

7. Spray chickens by walking slowly through the house.

8. Individual(s) spraying chickens should wear face mask and goggles.

9. After spraying, turn the fans back on. BE CAREFUL IN HOT WEATHER.

Mildvac-GA-98 Caution

1. Vaccinate only healthy chickens. Although disease may not be evident, other disease conditions may cause complications or reduce immunity.

2. All susceptible chickens on the same premises should be vaccinated at the same time.

3. The revaccination of laying hens against bronchitis may be detrimental to the flock and cannot be generally recommended. In some areas where Infectious Bronchitis is a severe continuing problem, the local poultry pathologists are recommending revaccination of the laying hens for bronchitis at specified intervals. If used, such recommendations should be strictly followed. A delay in revaccination may result in some layers becoming susceptible to bronchitis. If these hens are exposed to the virus they can experience a disturbance in egg production.

4. Efforts should be taken to reduce stress conditions at the time of vaccination and during the reaction period.

5. Do not spill or splash the vaccine.

6. Do not dilute the vaccine or otherwise stretch the dosage.

7. Use entire contents when first opened.

8. Do not vaccinate within 21 days before slaughter.
